This session will feature a panel of experts who studied that history and authored the Bureau’s new book, “A Century of Progress and Perspective: Workers’ Compensation in Tennessee.”

Explore best practices to reducing workers’ compensation injury costs through return-to-work and stay-at-work programs. Join in the discussion about identifying job demands, communicating with physicians, and the advantages of keeping the injured worker in the workplace.

The Restart FX team will provide guidance on how a Functional Restoration program can impact the recovery of the Injured Worker with chronic pain and reduce the incidence of the “Wounded Worker Syndrome.” With changes in opioid guidelines, treatment guidelines, changing medical information and the Reform Act of 2013, legacy claims have been affected. Is it better or worse for those poor patients?

The second legal ethics session is built around interviews of non-lawyers asked to give answers about whether lawyers or judges can engage in specific conduct.

Everyone is invited to participate in a fundraising auction and bid high to raise money for Kids' Chance: a non-profit that awards scholarships for the children of workers who were seriously injured or killed on the job.
