Your Douglasville Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

If you’ve been injured at work, you can’t afford to handle your workers’ compensation claim yourself. In Georgia, workers’ comp cases are complicated, with opportunities to make a mistake and limit or even miss out on compensation. Even worse, some people avoid claiming workers’ compensation entirely, fearing for their job security or writing off an injury as minor. Oftentimes, those who return to work find out they’re more seriously hurt than they thought and are left unable to perform their job as they did before the injury.

We handle all types of workplace injuries, including:

  • Shoulder injuries. If your job involves heavy lifting or overhead work, shoulder injuries are always a risk.
  • Traumatic brain injuries. Brain injuries are life changing, often requiring years of treatment and care.
  • Repetitive use injuries. Assembly line work or hours spent at the computer can lead to long-lasting problems like carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Catastrophic injuries. When an injury is so severe that it will require lifetime treatment and compensation benefits, we fight to obtain a catastrophic designation from the State Board.
  • Car and truck accidents. Crashes can happen at any time, including when you’re on the job. Even if the accident was your fault, you may still be entitled to workers’ comp.
  • Back and neck injuries. There’s nothing simple about back and neck injuries. We help you get the accurate diagnosis you’ll need for pursuing your claim.
  • Knee injuries. When you’ve had a knee injury, you need a great orthopedic doctor from the start. We help ensure you get the medical attention you need to make a successful claim.
