Fighting on behalf of injured workers in Tennessee. Hurt at work? Let me make sure you get the workers’ compensation benefits you’re owed. #forthepeople

[Jonathan Louis May, Esq. @memphisworkcomp]

The work my team and I do is challenging & Tennessee’s workers compensation laws are terrible, but when you treat people with dignity & respect, and handle every case the right way, it is immensely rewarding work. Very proud to be fighting #forthepeople here in Memphis!

We spent 27 months fighting Amazon. Beat ‘em in the trial court. Beat ‘em twice on appeal. Today, the client finally got closure.

[Jonathan Louis May, Esq. @memphisworkcomp]

Game. Day. Focus.

Trial time. I love how quiet it is at the office at 6:30am. Amazon’s nonsense against this injured worker stops today.

[Jonathan Louis May, Esq. @memphisworkcomp]

In case you’re curious how this ended…

[Jonathan Louis May @jmay11]

Proud to win another victory against Amazon today. I may never be able to stop them from treating people the way they do, but I can hope to stop them from treating MY people that way. 11 month delay in getting her surgery…and counting.

Great two day stint in Nashville getting the newest lawyer on our team settled in. Great things ahead for the TN Work Comp department of @forthepeople!

The @forthepeople Memphis WC year-end outing got delayed by COVID but we got to do it this afternoon and we escaped @MemEscapeRooms!

[Jonathan Louis May, Esq. @memphisworkcomp]

I wonder at what age they move me out of “Rising Stars” and I just become another boring old @SuperLawyers…

[Jonathan Louis May, Esq. @memphisworkcomp]

The full @forthepeople TN WC team is excited to be at the @TN_WorkComp conference. We are looking forward to bringing injured workers’ concerns to the forefront of these conversations throughout the week.

[Jonathan Louis May, Esq. @memphisworkcomp]

A day in the life of a WC attorney.

[Jonathan Louis May, Esq. @memphisworkcomp]

Nothing cleanses the palate after a long day better than reading an opinion where this particular defense attorney lost *SIX TIMES* to one unrepresented employee. I wonder if Amazon ended up paying more in attorneys’ fees than actual claim value.

Terrible tragedy for his family.

A 36-year-old construction worker fell to his death while helping renovate a building in the Cotton Row National Historic District. https://t.co/BKCTLpY1RF

The boss followed me to the dentist today.

An exciting week for the @forthepeople Memphis Workers Compensation team as we finally send the kiddos back to school! Share your #BackToSchool pictures with us so we can RT!

[Jonathan Louis May, Esq. @memphisworkcomp]

The legislature is about to devastate TN workers, who they’d already hung out to dry in 2014. If the state won’t hold employers responsible for providing safe work spaces, and now the courts cannot do so, you understand the consequence is UNSAFE WORK SPACES, right?

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

If your priorities include criminalizing:

- chalk on a sidewalk
- tents on public property
- walking into the street

With massive fines and felonies,

AND

Taking away workers’ & citizens’ ONLY recourse against negligent businesses with regard to #COVID19

THEN YEAH, CONGRATS.

[Jonathan Louis May @jmay11]

Me, in the corner trying to remind my client with my body language about what we talked about in depo prep.

My client, ignoring common sense and turning the corner into unnecessary commentary in response to a straightforward depo question:

[Jonathan Louis May, Esq. @memphisworkcomp]

Some of the worst injuries my clients have suffered have been in meat processing. Safety is paramount when your business is cutting up carcasses.

How do you measure a day?

I’m never sure, but some days feel “more” than others. Today was one of those.

49 incoming/outgoing calls
