Marietta, Metro Atlanta and North Georgia Workers' Compensation Claim Attorney
If you have been injured on the job and are seeking workers' compensation benefits, contact us, and we can assist you with your claim and protect your interests during every step.
We understand the potential conflicts that can arise between injured workers and their employers after a workers' compensation claim is filed. As dedicated legal advocates, we strive to ensure that you receive the level of compensation that you are entitled to receive.
Work-related disability cases are handled on a contingency fee basis at our law firm. We only receive legal fees if an injured worker receives compensation for an injury.
How to Make a Claim?
Under Georgia law, the injured worker must make a claim with the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation within one year from the date of the on-the-job injury. We can help you file your initial claim and ensure that your employer receives the appropriate documentation for notice. Additionally, if a hearing is necessary to initiate your workers' compensation benefits, we will prepare you for all aspects of the hearing. It is important that you follow guidelines for health care and rehabilitation, including:
- Comply with your medical treatment and take your medication as prescribed
- See your authorized doctor regularly as prescribed
- Comply with all work restrictions prescribed by your authorized treating physician
