Work Place Injuries & Workers Compensation
Work Place Injuries Happen All of the Time.
If you have been injured in a work place accident, or have
developed a medical condition
resulting from your work tasks or environment, you may be
eligible to receive benefits through Georgias workers'
compensation insurance. The personal injury law firm of
Howell and Johnson, in Atlanta and Athens, Georgia, handles
every component of an initial workers' compensation claim
and can help you avoid the frustration of having your
benefits denied.
We provide a free consultation to discuss your work place
injury and will not charge attorney's fees unless you
receive money benefits. If you are not sure whether your job
injury qualifies for workers' compensation or short term or
permanent disability benefits, it will cost you nothing to
talk with one of our experienced personal injury lawyers.
Not all employers in Georgia subscribe to a workers'
compensation insurance plan. Business that have chosen to
"self-insure" and do not pay compensation are required to
prove that 100% of the liability for an injury lies in the
hands of the injured worker or that the injury was caused by
the negligence of a third party. Even if you may have been
partially responsible for your own accident and injury at
work, the insurance defense attorneys will not be allowed to
enter your own negligence into evidence. A jury would only
be required to consider any amount of liability on the part
of your employer. This opens up your work place injury case
to possible significant compensatory and punitive damages
that workers' compensation insurance benefits might not
cover.
Whatever the damage or injury, we understand that no amount
of money can make things right. At the same time, the
economic and quality of life costs associated with most work
place injuries are staggering. We routinely partner with
some of the nations leading medical professionals,
accountants, life care planners, economists and other
experts to calculate the true costs and seek the full
financial compensation you will need to move forward in
life. Please
