Why Do I Need an Attorney?

Atlanta Workers' Comp Attorney

When workers' compensation laws were first enacted, they were for the purpose of giving benefits to workers who were injured so they would not have to go to court and file a lawsuit. In exchange for these benefits, workers forfeited their right to bring suit against their employer. Employees receive these benefits no matter who is at fault for the injuries. The original intent of the system has changed over the years. It has become more adversarial and is more driven by the financial motivations of both employers and their insurance companies. Your employer may deny your claim, fearful of rising insurance costs. Insurance companies offer less than reasonable offers to injured workers when they may be physically and emotionally weakened. Oftentimes this sum of money is not adequate to pay for needed medical treatment and other expenses, especially in the case of catastrophic injuries.

An experienced Atlanta workers' comp lawyer from the Law Office of Judy Kim, P.C. will aggressively fight for the maximum compensation you are entitled to for your injuries.
