Georgia Workers' Comp Legal Help

Atlanta Workers' Compensation Lawyers

Atlanta workers’ compensation claims are different than typical personal injury cases. Under Atlanta workers’ compensation law, the injured worker does not need to prove that the company’s negligence led to the injury. State workers’ comp laws state that Atlanta workers who were injured on the job are entitled to benefits including medical treatment and weekly checks. However, Atlanta workers’ compensation benefits may not cover ongoing medical treatments and workers' comp wage benefits may replace only a portion of your lost wages.

If you have been injured at work in Atlanta, it is important to contact an Atlanta workers’ compensation attorney to ensure your rights to benefits are protected. Fill out our free case review form today to find out if our Atlanta workers’ comp lawyers can assist with your claim or to ask any questions you may have. Our initital consultation is of no cost or obligation to you.

Denied Workers’ Comp Claims in Atlanta

Although Atlanta workers’ compensation law states that those injured at work should receive benefits, the system may be manipulated by the employer or the insurance company. For instance, the company may try to avoid paying workers’ compensation to Atlanta workers by:

  • Claiming that your injuries developed outside of work
  • Asserting that your work injuries are exaggerated or faked
  • Insisting that your on-the-job injuries have healed when they have not
  • Saying you lied about a pre-existing condition on your job application

If your Atlanta workers’ compensation claim was denied, contact our Atlanta workers’ comp attorneys today to find out how we can help. We may be able to get your claim approved and pursue a third party claim for workers' compensation if another entity, such as an equipment manufacturer, contributed to your injuries.

Atlanta Workers’ Compensation Lawyers

Our Atlanta workers’ comp attorneys will work with your doctors and the insurance company to make sure your claim is approved in a timely fashion, and ensure that you are not denied workers' compensation benefits you are entitled to under Atlanta's workers’ comp law. We handle various types of work-related injuries including:

  • Construction accidents, such as scaffolding accidents, ladder accidents and trench accidents
  • Machinery and equipment injuries
  • Occupational diseases, such as mesothelioma
  • Debilitating muscle strains, back injuries, neck injuries and spinal cord injuries
  • On-the-job auto accidents
  • Repetitive stress injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome

Pursuing workers’ compensation benefits in Atlanta can be difficult without the help of an Atlanta workers’ compensation attorney. For instance, in many cases of long-term injuries and repetitive stress injuries, proving your injury is related to your course of employment can be difficult. In addition, your employer’s insurance company retains experienced and capable lawyers who will try to reduce your claim to the cheapest possible settlement, which can be especially difficult for employees who need disability benefits. By hiring a workers’ compensation lawyer in Atlanta, you will have strong representation to deal with the insurance company’s attorneys and ensure proper evidence is gathered to show how your job caused your injuries.
