Atlanta Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

A workplace injury can have immediate and serious consequences on your health, income, employment, and long-term financial stability. Unfortunately, many injured workers discover quickly that employers and insurance carriers are not always focused on protecting the worker’s interests.

At King Wade Attorneys, we represent injured employees throughout Georgia in workers’ compensation matters involving:

• Workplace accidents
• Construction injuries
• Warehouse and logistics injuries
• Delivery driver injuries
• Back and neck injuries
• Shoulder and knee injuries
• Repetitive trauma claims
• Occupational injuries
• Head and traumatic brain injuries
• Disputed medical treatment claims
• Denied workers’ compensation benefits

Our office is committed to protecting injured workers and pursuing the full benefits available under Georgia workers’ compensation law.

• Legal Representation Focused on Results

Georgia workers’ compensation claims involve strict procedural requirements, medical evidence, disability evaluations, and litigation before the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation.

Insurance companies and employers frequently dispute:

• Whether the injury occurred in the course of employment
• Whether medical treatment is authorized
• Whether the employee can return to work
• Whether disability benefits should continue
• The extent of permanent impairment

Our office works to develop persuasive medical and legal evidence to support our clients’ claims and protect their rights under Georgia law.

No Attorney Fee Unless Benefits Are Recovered

At King Wade Attorneys, workers’ compensation representation is generally handled on a contingency fee basis consistent with Georgia law.

You Do Not Pay Attorney Fees Unless We Recover Benefits for You.

Important Georgia Workers’ Compensation Law

Medical Treatment Rights

Under Georgia Law employers may be responsible for providing authorized medical care reasonably required for treatment of compensable workplace injuries.

This may include:

• Physician treatment
• Diagnostic testing
• Surgery
• Physical therapy
• Prescription medication
• Rehabilitation services

Disputes frequently arise regarding authorization of treatment, referrals, surgeries, and specialist care.

Weekly Disability Benefits

Under Georgia Law, employees who are unable to work due to compensable injuries may qualify for weekly disability benefits.

Insurance carriers often challenge:

• Work restrictions
• Disability status
• Causation
• Ongoing treatment needs
• Maximum medical improvement findings

King Wade Attorneys works to challenge unsupported denials and protect injured workers’ entitlement to benefits.

Our office handles:

• Notice to controvert disputes
• Medical treatment disputes
• Disability benefit disputes
• Independent medical examination issues
• Settlement negotiations
• Administrative hearings
• Appeals

We prepare each case with the expectation that the evidence may ultimately be reviewed in a contested hearing proceeding.

After a workplace injury, employees should:

• Report the injury promptly
