Georgia enacted its original workers’ compensation law in 1920. The law was intended to redress the inequities and hardships that commonly occurred when an injured employee had to prove negligence to recover damages.1 For many years our firm has represented employers and employees involved in litigation throughout the state before the State Board of Workers’ Compensation.

Employees:

We work extremely hard to obtain a successful result for all our clients. Many times, an injury at work can have devastating effects on an employee and his or her family. Aggressive and professional representation is required to obtain a good result. Because our firm handles primarily catastrophic and serious injury cases, we do not have a high volume caseload. We feel that this is very important because it allows us to devote significant attention to every case.

Employers:

Our firm has worked diligently for employers involved in workers’ compensation disputes. We have extensive experience in litigating and resolving workers’ compensation cases. Employers deserve skillful and efficient representation to obtain a fair result under the workers’ compensation laws. We are committed to providing such representation to obtain good results as quickly as possible.

Note: Rule 1.7 of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct govern attorney/client conflicts of interest. Our firm cannot handle an employees case against an employer that is a client of our firm.
