Inside Office

Gary Massey:  Hi, I am Garry Massey a Worker’s compensation attorney in Chattanooga, TN, what you are about to see is a video right outside the courthouse, from a Worker’s compensation client of ours.

We tried this case a couple of weeks ago, the employer had said that her injuries did not occur at work they acknowledged she had a terrible back injury, but they said we do not have to pay for it because it did not happen at work. So we tried the case. It took a full day to try and it was hotly contested on both sides, but we won and we won a considerable victory and now they are going to have to pay for all of her medical bills they are going to have to pay for the time she was off work for about a year and a half, and they are also going to have to pay for her inability to work permanently in the future all of that was awarded today by the judge and here it what she had to say.
