We Represent the Injured and Disabled in Kentucky

If you have been injured at work or are suffering from a work-related injury or occupational disease you need to take immediate action and contact the Jennings Law Offices or call (502) 583-3882 for a substantive free consultation

The 3 Most Important Things You Need to Know if You are Injured At Work in Kentucky:

  • You have the right to see your own doctor, a physician of your choosing; Your company may try to tell you otherwise.  Kentucky workers’ compensation law has specific protections for you, the worker.  You need Ched Jennings on your side.
  • You must inform your employer that you have suffered an injury at work or have repetitive injury syndrome that is work related.
  • You must file your workers’ compensation claim within 2 years; We will help to ensure it is complete, accurate, and well documented to help ensure it is accepted.

Generally speaking you will need to immediately tell your employer that you have suffered an injury.  It is important to make sure your doctor knows you were injured at work.  If you need to miss work make sure to get a slip from the doctor and turn it in at work.

Ched Jennings has given more than 40 years of his life to serve and protect Kentucky’s injured workers, and protect their rights to workers’ compensation.  Ched has served as the Commissioner of the Department of Workers’ Claims, and has served at the forefront of legislation to protect our workers, our unions, and the rights and protections of individual people who work for a living.

Many employers unfortunately don’t have an injured worker’s best interests at hear.  Some misrepresent workers’ compensation and the rights of their workers altogether.  They try to intimidate an injured worker, tell them they need to see “this doctor.” This just isn’t right.

We can answer all of your questions.  We help you to understand your rights, and how to assert and protect them.  We stand beside you at every step, ensuring you get the medical diagnosis and treatment you need to treat and recover from your injuries.  We manage every step of your workers’ compensation claim process, so you can focus on healing and recovery.

We can help you to verify that you have a claim and that the proper steps are taken to protect your workers’ compensation & disability claim.

Whether you need help with a workers’ compensation claim, personal injury case or social security disability, you’ll need someone to stand up for you and your family. You’ll find exceptional legal representation at Jennings Law Offices in Louisville, KY.

We deeply believe in protecting the rights of injured workers and those who have suffered injury due to someone else’s negligence. If you are searching for proven experience and success across more than five decades, Jennings Law Offices is the right choice to handle your workers’ compensation & disability, personal injury or social security disability case.
