Cumming Georgia Workers Compensation Attorney – Work Comp Lawyer in Cumming, GA

Casey W. Stevens is an Experienced Georgia Workers Compensation Lawyer

If you have been injured on the job in Cumming, you may be entitled to compensation under Workers' Compensation laws in Georgia. Laws require employers to provide safe working environments for their employees, and in Georgia any business with three or more workers, including regular part-time workers, must carry workers' compensation insurance. Your employer is obligated to abide by these laws and the majority of them do. However accidents can and will happen, and in many cases these accidents are caused by negligence on behalf of the company or a co-worker. In some cases, a third party might have contributed to your injuries and there may be legal recourse to obtain payment for missed work, medical bills, and pain and suffering.

Workers' compensation insurance companies have lawyers advising them on their rights and requirements when it comes to workers' compensation claims. It is only fair that you be armed with a skilled personal injury lawyer offering the same information and advice. Casey W. Stevens Law: Alpharetta Personal Injury and Car Accident Lawyers can help you determine whether you have grounds to file a lawsuit against a third party or against your employer. If you do, you may be able to recover damages for lost income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.

Common workplace accidents and injuries include:

  • Construction accidents
  • Forklift injuries
  • Commercial trucking accidents
  • Falls
  • Lifting injuries
  • Injuries from conveyors and manufacturing product defects
  • Safety or OSHA violations
  • Chemical burns
  • Repetitive injuries (i.e. carpal tunnel syndrome)

In a perfect world, you wouldn't need workers' compensation lawyers after being hurt on the job or suffering negative effects of long-term exposure to hazardous conditions. You would file a claim and get paid for your medical expenses as well as part or all of your weekly wages.

But that's not reality. Since your claim means money out of the pocket of your employer and its workers' compensation insurance carrier, many of them will do everything in their power to avoid paying you the full amount to which you're entitled under the law. In many instances, once the employee returns to work, they are fired.

Common Workers Compensation Benefits

  • Free Medical Care – past, present and future for your injuries
  • Lost Weekly Wages for the duration of your recovery
  • Cash Disability Settlements should you be permanently disabled

Your employer and their insurance companies might look to deny your claim for a number of reasons. Casey Stevens worked for ten years as an insurance claims manager, and another four as an insurance company defense attorney. He knows the ways to combat insurance claims adjuster’s efforts and recover the best possible compensation for his clients in north Georgia.

Some reasons your employer and their insurance company might try to deny your claim

  • They will deny that the injury occurred on the job
  • They might claim the injury is exaggerated or faked
  • They claim the employee lied about a pre-existing medical condition
  • They claim the employee has recovered from the injury and can return to work
  • They fire the employee after the injury and ignore the claim
  • They pay wage benefit checks late to make the employee want to settle the claim early
  • They refuse to agree to let the employee see a specialist or refuse to allow necessary and justified surgery or therapies

Client Reviews

After being involved and a five car accident I contacted Casey Stevens law firm. I was given his number by a fellow coworker at my job who had used him in the past and was very satisfied with his services. The car accident included myself my husband and my son, the accident was determined to be the fault of two drivers involved in the accident. Casey personally came to my home the next day and said down with me and my family at the kitchen table and went over all the events of the accident. There were months and months of physical therapy, doctor visits injections and while my son had to have his mouth wired after having his jaw broke in three places. Casey and his staff worked continuously on our case and after it was all said and done, they where able to get us over $300,000 in damages. I really want to Thank Casey Stevens and his staff for always being available for phone calls and answering any questions I might have. I will continue to recommend potential clients to Casey Stevens law firm. Nina F
