Tennessee, if that's the location of your employer where you were injured. Get on the stick though, there may a time limit to file your claim. (Like 1 year...coming up fast)

It depends on where you were a resident when you were injured. If you were a resident of Tennessee, that's where you file your claim. If you were a resident of another state and injured while working in Tennessee, you can choose which state has the better benefits to file your claim.

I would file for it in Wisconsin. They should transfer the records from Tennessee.
