Understanding An Injured Employee’s Right To Benefits Under Georgia’s Worker’s Compensation Law
Worker’s compensation benefits are meant to be an injured employee’s exclusive right to benefits. You can't usually sue your employer directly if you get hurt on the job. Instead, you have to go through the worker’s compensation system to get benefits. In Georgia, the system is considered a "no-fault" system. You don't have to prove that your employer was to blame for your injury to get benefits. Most of the time, injuries and deaths that happen at work are considered compensable injuries. Garner Law Office P.C. is here to help you navigate the difficult areas of worker’s compensation law and help you get the benefits you deserve. Call us today at (770) 575-2747 to discuss your case.
Filing For Worker’s Compensation Can Be Challenging Without Help
The worker’s compensation process can be lengthy and complicated without legal representation. Valid claims are frequently denied. Occasionally, insurance companies refuse to pay injured workers, or pay slowly. Regardless of the complexity of your case, I can guide you through the process. Because I used to be an insurance defense attorney, I am able to anticipate defenses, understand how insurance companies operate, and fight for the benefits to which you are legally entitled.

Why Choose Me For Your Worker’s Compensation Claim?
Before I became a lawyer, I worked in my family's construction business. I understand hard work and labor industry jobs. This experience also showed me how important it is to compensate workers following an on-the-job injury, and for our legal system to ensure that injured workers receive appropriate medical care and compensation.
I know how the other sides thinks. Prior to founding Garner Law Office, P.C., I spent many years working for a large insurance defense firm that represented employers and their insurance companies in worker’s compensation cases. This is an advantage that you will not find at some other firms. While I will settle cases when appropriate, I will go to trial when necessary. I have extensive trial experience and have litigated some of the most complex legal issues in worker’s compensation law. Call me today for a free consultation on your workers' comp case.
