If you’ve been injured in a fall, or hurt on the job as a result of someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to fair compensation. You shouldn’t have to pay for other peoples’ mistakes, nor should you have to pay for medical bills or wages lost as a result of your injury. Unfortunately, employers aren’t always so diligent about paying workers compensation. And many establishments and corporations will fight tooth and nail to avoid a personal injury lawsuit.
Employment Litigation
Ridenour & Ridenour Attorneys at Law have your best interest in mind when representing employment claims throughout Tennessee.

Both employers and employees are not aware of specific laws that are set in place to protect the rights of the labor force.

Please be aware that filing a claim for the Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit may require complex qualification actions, including possible estate planning and/or asset reallocation measures that may have an impact on other benefits such as Medicaid or TennCare eligibility. Application requirements may include evidence of prospective, and recurring, medical expenses, veteran identification documents, and current income information. Contact your local regional VA office for supplementary assistance in understanding these benefits or contact an accredited VA attorney for more information.
Wills
Too many people wait to establish wills and trusts because they simply don’t want to think about it. But it is so important to put your wishes in a legal document so that they can be carried out and not challenged. Frankly, if your wills and trusts are not set up correctly, you might as well not have done them. Often, people think that if they don’t yet have children, they don’t need a will. Everyone should have a will. You may have assets you don’t realize. If you die without a will, a court will decide how to distribute those assets. One quite common situation occurs when one spouse dies, followed shortly by the death of the surviving spouse. A simple will can make sure your assets go to whomever you wish. Trusts are also a vital planning tool. In many cases, trusts can save an estate a good deal of money on taxes. We can advise you on whether your estate and your goals warrant establishing a trust. Then we can draft a trust that will achieve those goals. We handle revocable and irrevocable trusts and living trusts. We also will administer trusts on clients’ behalf.
Trusts
Power of Attorney
When we help you with your estate planning, we create documents that convey your intentions for your assets after death, identify those responsible for settling any debts and distributing your assets, and express your preferences with regard to your care if you become disabled before death. Typical estate documents include wills, trusts, healthcare and financial powers of attorney, and living wills.
