Kingsport Workers’ Compensation Lawyer
Kingsport Workers’ Compensation Lawyer 
A Kingsport workers’ compensation lawyer from The Law Offices of Mark T. Hurt knows that when you have filed a workers’ compensation claim after you have been in a workplace accident you want to know when you can finally settle your claim. We know that you likely have many questions regarding the workers’ compensation process and what it will mean to settle your claim. Will you still have the option to pursue this claim in court? Will the benefits you are given fully pay for the medical bills you have? Workers’ compensation settlements can be complicated, which is why it always benefits you to have an attorney on your side who is knowledgeable in workers’ compensation in the state of Tennessee.
How can you go about settling your case?
Your doctor will need to give you a thorough examination and determine that your health condition is as good as it will get. Once this is done, they will give your disability a certain number which is then used to determine your settlement eligibility.
Can I just take my employer to court to get my settlement quicker?
A workers’ compensation lawyer in Kingsport, Tenessee knows that before taking your employer to court, you are required to try to settle outside of court first. If you and your employer settle your workers’ compensation benefits outside of court, it is important to know that you will not be able to pursue action against them in the future by going to court for this claim. Additionally, it is important to understand that when you settle your claim, your employer will be paying for past medical expenses. Thus, if you still have future treatments, these will be paid by you and not your employer. If you know that you have more medical expenses in the future, like surgeries or months of physical therapy, speak with your lawyer about keeping your medical rights open after your claim is settled.
When my employer’s insurance and I settle the claim, is that final?
While both parties need to come to an agreement, the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation is the one that will get the final say when granting the settlement. The judge in charge of your case will either accept or reject the settlement.

Mark and his group helped me with estate services. They were very professional and Mark listened to what I wanted. Melanie Blankenship was my contact person and she was wonderful to work with in planning my estate. She was very responsive to my emails as we went over the details of my wishes. Melanie and Mark’s group were friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this Law Office. Excellent work and very responsive to my questions. I was very pleased with the results.

The team at the Law office of Mark T. Hurt go above and beyond to ensure that their clients get the highest quality service in the surrounding area.I needed a traffic specialist was able to appear for me in Abingdon, VA and after contacting various other offices, their specialist (L. Knowles) took the time to ensure that we had everything that we would need for court appearance [within a 24 hour window] at that moments notice.Without the help of L. Knowles I would have been at a loss so I strongly recommend using The Law Office of Mark T. Hurt for any of your traffic needs in the surrounding area. They seem well informed and know how to get the job done with ease.

I contacted the law offices of Mark T. Hurt regarding a traffic ticket I received. Initially I was concerned because I live between Florida and New York, and with Virginia being midway, handling my ticket would be a major inconvenience, and I wanted to keep my record free of any infractions.Choosing Mark T. Hurt to represent me was the best choice I made, and it was further improved with the assistance of Rhonda, who contacted me once they received my request. Rhonda is one of those unique people who has mastered the fine line between being perfectly professional and friendly. Every conversation we had, was made to feel as if I were speaking to a close friend. One of the most appreciated aspects of working with her was her understanding and respectful of my schedule and time.For my work, I have a hectic schedule and very few free moments, so being able to handle things quickly and effectively is a priority for me, and Rhonda understood that and took care of everything as if she knew exactly what I was expecting. I even got sick while working with Rhonda, and her first comment was to wish me well. She also went out of her way to find solutions regarding my traffic citation that worked around my schedule. The price was fair, and when considering the quality of work and more importantly, the quality of people you will be reliant upon to ensure the best possible outcome for whatever your situation is, they can ask for 10x more than what I paid and it would still be worth it.All in all, recommendation for this law office, and for Rhonda herself, could not be higher. If you are searching for someone to represent you in any legal matter whatsoever, this is the office to work with. Thank you again Rhonda.

I'm not a Virgina resident and had found this firm through Google. I have a traffic violation case in tennessee and was desperate to get awnsers. This law office's staff was so helpful even though I wasn't able to even be a client, I believe the person who awnsered was Ashley. After their direction on finding another attorney and my case I was able to push my court date back and will be able to find someone to represent me.I'm not even a client, they didn't have to help me at all! I just wish they practiced in the tri cities area! Would recommend this group!

Late in July I was charged with a reckless driving ticket in Greenville County, Virginia. I got caught going 83mph in a 55mph zone. It was my first offense on my driving record and I did not need a misdemeanor which could hurt my career. I was assured by Mrs Rhonda Hurt not to worry and that her team would take care of it. On my end, the only effort I put in was taking a 12 hour defensive driving course and sending her my driving record. Two months later, the result of my hearing was a reduction to a defective equipment/non driving violation with 0 points off my record. The other good part about this case was I did not have to go to court. In court fees I paid $68 and a fine of $78 for my ticket. Mrs. Rhonda and her team put together a miracle in that county and I cannot give her enough credit. I sincerely recommend this firm because I know they worked hard on my case and will do the same for you. Thank you again!

I got a traffic ticket while I traveled passing through VA in May.It is a big deal if you have the Law Section: 44-1/46/2-862 and speeding excess of 80 MPH in your ticket. It is a Criminal Misdemeanor Reckless Driving Charge!I saw Mark T. Hurt's Law office simple letter, I decided to give a call and get a free consultation.From the call, Rhonda provided a detail explaining the criminal charge of the Misdemeanor Reckless Driving ticket is about. She is a very caring and honest person, no sale pressure to me to take their law office at all.Once I decided to use their firm to represent me in court, it didn't take an hour, I was told totake some actions and wait for cout day to see the result. That is that simple and no worry at all. On the court date, I received text messages from lawyer's office. Guess what? The lawyer did a miraculous and fantastic job for me in the court.The Reckless Driving Misdemeanor ticket has been reduced to an Improper Driving traffic ticket.Thanks to Mark T. Hurt's Law office team! They are not only very professional and transparent but also does the best quality job you can find. I strongly recommend them to be your lawyer if you need one in VA.

Having landed a Reckless Driving (99 in a 65) on my way back to FL from WV, I came across this law firm when searching something along "best reckless driving lawyers Virginia."Mr. Hurt's firm dropped my "Criminal Misdemeanor" to an improper driving. Which from my understanding is right next to a normal speeding ticket.All expenses accounted (payment, court cost, fine), I'm out roughly $1,100 ; but I'd much rather pay that once today, than every six months to an insurance company for the next... God knows how many years. I am extremely grateful and overjoyed with my outcome.As far as speaking with the great ladies at these offices, everyone was always kind, quick, and considerate. They answered all my questions, explained all my options and possible outcomes. I had a clean record, and had now experience dealing with courts or lawyers, so their patience and knowledge was especially helpful. If I ever screw up again (I pray to God I don't) I hope it's in Virginia, so I can call upon Mr. Hurt's offices.
