Session Description
In 2013, Tennessee’s workers’ compensation law underwent fundamental reforms. As a result of those reforms, workers’ compensation cases are now initially decided by the Court of Workers’ Compensation Claims, and those decisions are appealed to the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board. In this session, attendees will learn about significant cases that have been decided pursuant to the 2013 reforms, including how those cases may have changed the interpretation and application of the law, and will gain insight into what the participants in the workers’ compensation system may expect as we move into the future.
