Atlanta Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Have you been injured in a workplace accident? Have you suffered any type of illness or injury as a result of the performance of your job duties? You may be able to seek benefits that will help you with medical expenses and lost wages while you are unable to work. An Atlanta workers' compensation attorney at our law office can assist you in this endeavor. We work on a contingency fee basis which means that we don't get paid unless our client receives workers' compensation benefits through our efforts. Also, we do not charge for the first consultation with a prospective client whether or not we decide to represent the person in their claim.

In most cases we collect our fees out the benefits received by the client through our representation but in a number of situations we actually are paid part or all of our fees directly from the workers' compensation insurer or self-insured employer. For example, the compensation insurer will pay our fees directly if we are successful in resolving a dispute over the client's medical treatment or rehabilitation benefits. This means that there is no risk to contacting our firm or utilizing our experienced services for your Atlanta workers' comp claim. We are here to support you when you need it most, helping you through an often difficult time.

About Workers' Comp in Atlanta, Georgia

If you have been injured at work or on-the-job in Georgia, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits (sometimes called workers’ comp or workman’s comp). The workers' compensation system's purpose is to minimize the impact of work-related injuries or illnesses on workers and employers. The benefits are paid by the employer’s insurance company, and the system is administered by the State Board of Workers’ Compensation located minutes from our office. These benefits include compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, as well as temporary or permanent disability that results from your work injury.

You are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits whether you injured your back lifting a heavy object, developed carpal tunnel syndrome, slipped and fell on a construction site, got in an auto or commercial truck accident while driving on the job, or suffered a more serious injury. These benefits are a trade-off: you are entitled to receive these benefits when you are injured at work, even if the injury is your own fault. However, if the accident is your employer’s fault, you are prohibited from suing your employer for additional money (such as compensation claim for pain and suffering) in a personal injury lawsuit. However, if the injury is the result of a third party (such as another driver, a subcontractor, or a defective product), you may sue that individual in a “third party” personal injury lawsuit.
