I represent injured Georgia workers in all stages of workers' compensation claims — from the first denial letter to the final settlement approval. If you were hurt on the job, here's what I can help with.
Denied Claims
The insurance company filed a WC-3 denying your claim. We request a hearing, gather the evidence needed to prove your case, and build a strategy to get your benefits started.
Disputed Injuries & Treatment
The carrier is arguing your injury isn't work-related, or refusing to approve the surgery or treatment your doctor recommends. We push back with medical records, expert testimony, and legal filings.
Wage Benefit Disputes
You're not being paid what you should be, or your TTD rate is miscalculated. We review your wage records, challenge the carrier's math, and recover the difference — plus penalties for late payments.
Return-to-Work Disputes
The insurance company's doctor cleared you for light duty before you feel ready, or your employer is offering a job you can't actually do. We challenge premature releases and fight back against pressure to return too soon.
Settlement Negotiation
You've been offered a settlement and don't know if it's fair. Or we're ready to push the carrier toward resolution. I evaluate your case — medical, wage loss, future treatment — and negotiate for the full value.
Retaliation & Wrongful Termination
Your employer fired you, cut your hours, or demoted you after you filed a workers' comp claim. That's illegal under Georgia law. We pursue both your WC claim and any separate retaliation action you may have.
Medical Panel Issues
You were never given a Panel of Physicians, or the panel your employer posted is inadequate. That changes your rights. We identify when the panel is invalid and unlock your ability to choose your own doctor.
Catastrophic Injury Claims
Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns — catastrophic injuries carry lifetime medical benefits and substantially higher settlement values. These cases require experienced handling.
Third-Party Claims
If a contractor, a driver, or defective equipment contributed to your injury, you may have a separate personal injury case alongside your WC claim. These cases often have substantially more value than WC alone.
SBWC Hearings & Appeals
When a claim can't be resolved with the carrier, it goes to hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. My appellate experience — seven reported Georgia decisions, four establishing new law — matters here.
How my fees work
Workers' comp representation in Georgia is contingency-based. You pay nothing up front and nothing unless we recover benefits for you.
Georgia law caps workers' comp attorney fees at 25% of the benefits recovered — significantly lower than personal injury cases, where fees typically run 33–40%. Every fee agreement must be approved in writing by a Georgia workers' compensation judge before any fee over $100 can be paid.
Medical benefits are never used to pay attorney fees. You keep the full value of your medical coverage.
The first conversation costs nothing
Every consultation is free and confidential. You'll know where your case stands and whether we can help — and there's no obligation to hire us.
