The Tennessee Court of Workers' Compensation Claims has announced that the settlement approval process in Memphis will change effective Jan. 3. Starting on that date, settlement approvals will take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9-11 a.m. CST. Approvals will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Lawyers must be in the courtroom, ready to present, by 11 a.m. to have their settlements heard that day. No settlements will be scheduled in advance, but parties are asked to submit a petition for settlement approval 48 hours before the date desired. Read more from the court about these new processes.
