In Georgia, workers’ compensation law is very complicated and includes certain requirements and deadlines that must be met to receive full compensation. The workers’ compensation attorneys of our law firm have over 40 years of combined experience prosecuting and defending workers’ compensation claims, including catastrophic and wrongful death cases. Our experience can work for you, as our legal advice will help you navigate successfully through the workers’ compensation system and the claims process, including investigating whether employer negligence or a third-party equipment manufacturer contributed to the accident.


Construction workers are at particularly high risk for workplace injuries. Falls are one of the most common causes of serious work-related injuries in Georgia, and the results of a fall can range from temporary impairment to permanent disability to death. Falling from an elevated area at a construction site, such as a ladder or a scaffold, only increases your risk of personal injury on the job.
Another risk is heat-related injuries; Georgia’s intense summer heat can lead to heat stress, heat exhaustion, and even life-threatening heatstroke. We created a guide that covers workers’ comp for heat exhaustion and heat stress.

However, work does not need to be very active to cause injury. The modern-day workplace often utilizes technology and machinery that requires a very limited range of motion to operate. Many jobs associated with conducting repetitive tasks for long periods can cause work-related injuries that need to be addressed in workers’ comp cases. Injuries due to overuse and repetitive motions are commonly found in the wrist, elbow, knee, shoulders, neck, or back. Common symptoms of job injuries due to overuse include pain, numbness, weakness, tingling, and burning, and may require medical treatments, surgery, and time off of work to recover.
