Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
Representing Workers Injured on the Job
Sustaining an injury at work can lead to employees missing significant time while they recover. To support workers during this challenging time, employers are required to provide workers’ compensation insurance, which helps cover medical expenses. However, when a worker experiences a serious or permanent injury, it’s essential to consult an Atlanta workers’ compensation attorney to ensure fair compensation is obtained.
While employers fund workers’ compensation insurance as mandated by Georgia law, it is the insurance companies that typically handle claims. Injured workers often face challenges from insurance claims adjusters who may:
- Deny legitimate claims
- Undervalue lost wages
- Reject substantial claims for permanent injuries, scarring, and emotional distress
- Pressure injured workers to return to their jobs too soon
- Discourage obtaining a second medical opinion
- Refuse to take responsibility for conditions leading to multiple injuries
