The Tennessee Court of Workers' Compensation Claims announced today that it will implement a new process for settlement approvals in Memphis and open a new satellite office in Lauderdale County to help alleviate the volume of cases at the Memphis office. The Memphis office will transition from an appointment to a first-come, first-served process. On Tuesdays, 20 settlements will be accepted from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and nine will be accepted from 1-2 p.m. CDT. On Thursdays, the office will accept 20 settlements in the morning. Then in July, the court will operate a satellite location in Ripley on the third Friday of each month from 9 to 11:30 a.m. CDT in the chancery courtroom. The satellite location also will operate on a first-come, first-served process.
