Burrow Lee serves the institutional side of workers compensation disputes, representing the carriers and employers who are managing claims, rather than the claimants those carriers and employers face. That focus requires particular fluency in claim handling procedures, administrative processes, and litigation strategy tailored to defending against workers compensation claims in Tennessee courts and before the state workers compensation system.
Practice Areas
Burrow Lee’s practice is focused entirely on workers compensation defense and insurance litigation.
Workers Compensation Defense
The firm represents insurance companies, self-insured employers, and insurance funds in workers compensation matters across Tennessee. This includes:
- Workplace injury claims defense
- Construction accident defense
- Industrial incident litigation
- Occupational disease cases
The firm’s approach to defense work centers on aggressive pursuit of positive outcomes through cost-efficient representation. Attorneys investigate the intricacies of claim handling, identify procedural and substantive defenses, and work to avoid potential pitfalls in litigation that can increase claim exposure. Tennessee’s workers compensation system operates under its own set of rules and procedures, distinct from general civil litigation, and effective defense requires familiarity with both the administrative process and the standards courts apply when reviewing contested claims. Medical causation, the extent of permanent impairment, and the employee’s ability to return to work are recurring factual issues in these cases, and the firm develops the evidence needed to address each one.
Construction accident defense involves claims from workers injured on construction sites, where multiple employers, subcontractors, and general contractors may share responsibility for workplace safety. The legal analysis often involves determining which entity bears workers compensation liability and whether third-party claims against non-employer entities affect the defense strategy. Industrial incident litigation covers injuries in manufacturing, warehousing, and other industrial settings where machinery, hazardous materials, and repetitive motion create ongoing injury risks.
Occupational disease cases present their own challenges, as these claims involve conditions that develop over time rather than from a single incident. Proving or disproving the connection between workplace exposure and a diagnosed condition requires specialized medical evidence and an understanding of the scientific and legal standards that govern causation in these matters.
Insurance Litigation
Beyond workers compensation, Burrow Lee handles insurance litigation matters for institutional clients managing claim disputes and coverage questions in Tennessee. Insurance litigation can involve disputes over policy interpretation, coverage denials, and the allocation of liability among multiple carriers.

This dual-attorney model ensures that clients benefit from both the judgment that comes with years of practice and the current awareness of evolving law and procedure that newer practitioners bring to the work.
