Workers' Compensation

Metro Atlanta Worker's Compensation Lawyer

Over 20 Years of Experience

An employee injured in the course of employment is entitled to workers' compensation benefits. If you are uncertain what benefits you may qualify for, whether a weekly check or medical benefits, or both, and need help determining what to do to qualify for benefits, you need an experienced Workers' Compensation lawyer. For over 20 years, the law firm of Susan Wheat Lehner has successfully helped injured workers throughout North Georgia and the Metro Atlanta area to obtain the benefits to which they are entitled. Contact Susan Wheat Lehner to handle all of your legal concerns so that you can concentrate on recovering from your injury.

The worker's compensation law provides for specific benefits to be paid to employees for injuries arising out of and in the course of employment, without regard to fault. This law applies to all employers that have at least three full-time or part-time employees.

As a worker injured at work, you are entitled to weekly benefits and medical benefits. When you suffer a workplace injury, Georgia law requires you to file a workers' compensation claim within one year of the date of the accident. You need to complete and file a form called a WC-14 with the State Board of Workers' Compensation and send a copy of the form to your employer and its workers' compensation insurance carrier. We can help you to insure that this is done quickly and correctly so that your rights are not jeopardized.

If you are already receiving benefits and have questions about your claim or if your benefits have been suspended, contact the Law Firm of Susan Wheat Lehner. Susan Wheat Lehner will handle hearings before the administrative law judges and advise you regarding possible settlement of your claim. Your initial consultation is free. All workers' compensation cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. Unless you recover benefits or settle your case, you will not be charged attorney fees.
