: Day on TortsChanges to Tennessee Worker's Compensation Law
By John Day
This post is part of our continuing effort to advise Tennessee lawyers about substantive law changes resulting from the actions of the General Assembly.
Public Chapter 858 sets forth a procedure for helping injured workers obtain medical benefits they are entitled to receive after a judgment or settlement of a worker's compensation action. It allows a Department of Labor employee to order an employer to pay for treatment and award attorney's fees and costs incurred by the employee to obtain the benefits.
It became effective on April 30, 2010.
