defective product, or workplace accident, the skilled attorneys at Wetzel Law
Firm are well-prepared to help you develop a strategy for ensuring you receive
the full and fair monetary compensation owed to you. We will fully investigate
your accident and work with your chosen medical professional to gain a clear
understanding of if and how this injury may impact the rest of your life. We

having sustained it.



PERSONAL INJURY: ACCIDENTS

Our lawyers represent clients in a wide variety of personal injury matters
including but not limited to the following: motor vehicle accidents, maritime
injuries, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, dangerous/defective
products, and premises liability.

A catastrophic and unexpected injury or wrongful death can have a devastating

WORKERS' COMPENSATION: OVERVIEW

Most working Mississippians are protected by the Workers’ Compensation Law with
some exceptions.  All employers with five regularly employed employees are
required to provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage. If the employer
has fewer than five employees, such coverage is not mandatory but may be
provided voluntarily by the employer.  Domestic and farm laborers as well as
employees of nonprofit, fraternal, charitable, religious and/or cultural
organizations are not covered under this law unless coverage is provided
voluntarily by the employer. 

Further, the Workers’ Compensation Law does not apply to federal employees or
certain transportation and maritime employments covered by federal compensation
laws.  Finally, independent contractors are usually excluded from coverage
although special protection is given to employees of subcontractors.
If you’re unsure whether or not you’re covered by Workers’ Compensation, please
give us a call after discussing with your employer and/or their insurance
carrier!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WORKMANS' COMP: COVERAGE

Under the Workers’ Compensation Law, the worker is covered and eligible for
benefits at the beginning of employment – there is not waiting period or minimum
earnings requirement.  If you’re unsure whether or not your Workers’
Compensation has begun or if your employer is telling you otherwise, please give
us a call after discussing with your employer and/or their insurance carrier!



WORKMANS' COMPENSATION ATTORNEY REPRESENTATION

Following an accident, many people want to settle the matter quickly and move on
with their lives quickly.  As a result, some may be tempted to try to settle
issues without professional representation.  There are many pitfalls of trying
to handle your case by yourself, especially while recovering from an injury.

In virtually all cases, an attorney can work on your case to ensure you receive
full compensation during your recovery.  The negligent party will certainly have
lawyers on their side – when you hire a lawyer to represent you, you are
ensuring that the negligent party is not taking advantage of you.

Give us a call at Wetzel Law Firm at 228-864-6400 to learn more about how we can
help you to a full recovery while receiving the benefits owed to you!
