Legal Experience on Work Injury Claims
After graduating from the University of Mississippi, Mr. Parsons spent eight years working in law firms that defended employers and insurance companies in workers’ compensation cases and liability claims. This background has provided unique insight into how big businesses and large insurance companies treat workers… and how they make it difficult for those hurt on the job to get the benefits they deserve.
Mr. Parsons was unhappy with the way that injured workers were treated after they got injured and decided to start his own law firm to provide personalized, compassionate, and knowledgeable legal assistance to employees and injury victims. Parsons Law Group was formed in 2003 from a desire to help people get their lives back together and avoid financial harm after serious injuries.
“I sleep very well at night knowing that I’m helping people get their lives back together after terrible injuries”. – Attorney Michael Parsons
