Macon Workers Compensation Attorney
Georgia Workplace Injuries Lawyer
Workers' compensation laws (sometimes referred to as "workers comp", "workman's compensation" or "workman's comp") are designed to provide workers who were injured on the job, or performing a job related activity, benefits without the need for litigation. At Westmoreland, Patterson, Moseley & Hinson, LLP, our attorneys have assisted hundreds of injured workers with their workers' compensation claims. We assist you through the whole process, beginning with evaluating your claim, filing paperwork, attending hearings, and, if needed, appealing a denial of benefits.
Who Is Entitled to Workers' Compensation Benefits?
Workers injured in the workplace, including:
- Further aggravating or complicating a pre-existing condition (e.g., hurt back from heavy lifting)
- Injuries caused during company activities (e.g., a company retreat)
- Injuries caused by company property (e.g., a slippery floor or a hazard on the floor you trip over)
- Injuries caused by the work environment (e.g., black lung disease from mining coal)
- Injuries resulting from mental or physical stress caused from work (e.g., mental breakdown or carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Injuries obtained while performing a work-related function (e.g., auto accident while driving to deliver goods or services for work)
If you have been injured in the workplace, performing a work related activity, or due to company property (slip & fall, construction accident, etc.), then you should contact an experienced workers' compensation lawyer to assist you with your claim. The consultation is free*, the fee is contingent* (we don't get paid unless you do), and the service is priceless.
