If you’ve suffered an injury or illness at work, you may be entitled to benefits through your employer’s workers' compensation insurance. At Ory Law Group, we help clients navigate workers' compensation insurance claims in Franklin and surrounding areas. Our mission is to protect your rights, ensure timely benefits, and help you focus on your recovery while we handle the legal process.
Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim
Filing a workers’ compensation claim in Franklin involves more than just submitting paperwork. Insurers often look for reasons to deny or delay claims. Our team assists you with every step—from filing to appeal if necessary—to make sure you receive the benefits you’re legally owed without unnecessary setbacks.
What Workers’ Comp Insurance Covers
Workers’ compensation insurance is designed to protect employees injured on the job, offering a lifeline when you’re unable to work. This includes both sudden incidents, like falls or equipment accidents, and injuries that develop over time, such as repetitive strain or toxic exposure.
Covered Injuries & Conditions
Commonly covered injuries include slip-and-fall accidents, lifting injuries, machinery-related trauma, and conditions caused by repetitive motion. Occupational illnesses due to long-term exposure to harmful environments are also typically covered.
Available Benefits
Depending on your injury, you could qualify for coverage that includes emergency care, ongoing treatment, temporary or permanent disability benefits, and even job retraining if you cannot return to your previous position.
Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury in Franklin
To protect your right to benefits, it’s essential to report your injury to your employer as soon as possible and seek treatment from an approved physician. Document everything—accident details, symptoms, and communications—and speak with our legal team early to avoid costly delays or denials.

Got in touch with Matt regarding a scary situation that happened over the weekend. My wife and I were unsure how to proceed and unsure of the next steps. He responded almost immediately, put our fears at ease, and assured us that he was there to help should anything transpire further. Matt was extremely informative, caring, and honest while at the same time serious, professional, and 100% on top of his game. We are extremely grateful!

Matt’s outstanding hard work, confidence, and representation speak for themselves from the first moment you step foot in his office until the very last court hearing. His passion and drive make you feel as though there’s an entire army behind you. Thank you, Matt, from the bottom of my heart, for being so savage. If you need a total beast in your corner, call Matt Ory!
