Georgia Personal Injury Trial Attorneys

Workers' Compensation

Fry | Goehring successfully helps the injured recover the compensation they deserve.

Settlement over twenty times the prior offer
We filed a law-suit, and shortly thereafter we obtained a settlement over twenty times the prior offer.
A driver that was illegally taking opioids
Our Firm helped a gentleman that was hit by a driver that was illegally taking opioids, which affected his driving. This caused serious injuries to our client. We had multiple depositions, worked with a toxicologist and other experts, and were ultimately able to obtain a very large, and confidential settlement, for our very deserving client.
Five times the initial offer
We received a referral case from another attorney. It was a hit and run case with a low offer, which is common for these types of cases. After our firm filed suit, we were able to take the case to mediation and settled for 5 times the initial offer.
Five times the initial offer
Following mediation, the insurance company ended up agreeing to pay 2.5 times the amount of its prior statutory offer of settlement to resolve the case and avoid a jury trial.
Recently settled at mediation for a confidential, but significant amount
We represented a very nice Hispanic lady that was severely injured when a thermos she was carrying blew up causing her eye damage. We spent significant time and resources on this case, and working with another Firm, recently settled at mediation for a confidential, but significant amount. Our client and her family were thrilled that we took the time, and the risk, to assist in this very serious matter.
Settlement over six times the previous offer
We recently represented a man that was bitten by a dog, that was not on a leash and not restrained as required by the applicable laws and ordinances. The initial offer to this gentleman did not even cover his medical bills. Our firm took over his case, and we secured a settlement of over six times the previous offer. We were happy to secure a great settlement for one of many dog bites cases that we handle every year.

Contact us now at (404) 969-1284 to ask all of your questions regarding claims for workers’ compensation.

Common Causes of Workplace Accidents

Workplace injuries can arise from various factors, depending on the nature of the work environment and job activities. A workplace’s safety can range from relatively harmless to extremely dangerous. While there are numerous ways injuries can occur on the job, certain tasks often lack adequate safety measures, leading to frequent and serious accidents.

Our workers compensation lawyers can provide legal support for any kind of workplace injury, including those caused by:

  • Overexertion and exhaustion, particularly when employees lack sufficient breaks and rest periods.
  • Slips, trips, and falls, resulting from hazardous work conditions or faulty equipment.
  • Cuts and wounds due to malfunctioning machinery.
  • Long-term illnesses or diseases caused by exposure to toxic materials at the work site.
  • Inadequate training or missing resources, often due to management’s cost-cutting measures.

Understanding the Terms of Workers’ Compensation

Many people are unaware of what’s covered by workers’ compensation in Georgia until they’re injured. It’s understandable that no one expects the worst, and right after an accident, victims are too tired and overwhelmed to think about filing a claim.
The issue is that under Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws, failing to report a work-related accident within 30 days can forfeit your right to benefits. Even if you report the incident, not submitting your WC-14 Form to the State Board of Workers’ Compensation within a year can also deny you the compensation you’re entitled to. We understand that you might be in pain and exhausted from your injury, but it’s crucial to allow our team to start the investigation and help you recover after a workplace incident.

Seeking Fair Compensation for Your Work-Related Injuries

Unexpected or unnoticed injuries at work do not exempt the employer from responsibility. As the business owner, they are generally liable for accidents that occur in the workplace. Employees might fear retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim, but it’s essential not to let your employer intimidate you into silence.

If you or a loved one has suffered or is suffering from a work-related accident or occupational illness, our workplace accident lawyers in Atlanta are here to help you understand your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to.
