Georgia Workers' Compensation Lawyer Blog

If you are hurt at work in Georgia, workers' compensation will cover medical care related to your injury. Even if you reach maximum medical improvement, continuing therapy, pain management, and other medical care will be provided. Sometimes, an injured worker can have a change in condition for the worse and require additional medical care years after his initial accident at work. While the insurance company may try to argue that an intervening incident caused the change in condition for the worse, medical care should still be provided.

If you hurt yourself at work in the Atlanta area and have had a change in condition for the worse, please call me, the Atlanta workers' compensation attorney. We can examine your medical records and employment records together to see if you are entitled to continuing medical treatment for your injury at work, even if several years have passed.

Several of the cases my workers' compensation law office in Atlanta is handling involve clients who have had injuries at work caused by another party's negligence. Thus, they have a workers' compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit stemming from the same injury or injuries.

Injuries stemming from trucking or other motor vehicle accidents often present these issues if the victim drives a truck for a living or is traveling for his employment.  "Slip and fall" accidents can also lend themselves to negligence lawsuits on top of a workers' comp claim, assuming the injured party fell while working. 

If you've had a workplace injury in metro Atlanta and think there could be a personal injury lawsuit and a workers' comp claim, please contact my office, which handles workplace accidents in Georgia and partners with Atlanta personal injury lawyers.
