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.

• 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

• They fire the employee after the injury and ignore the claim
