Working to Recover Compensation on Your Behalf

After you have been hurt on the job, your employer may try to get you to accept a small settlement or talk you into avoiding going to court. It is important to remember that your employer does not have your best interest in mind and neither does their insurance company. Our Athens workplace injury attorney is committed to representing your personal injury claim and helping you recover the maximum amount of compensation for you and your family.

Holding the Responsible Party Accountable

If you believe that another party was at fault for your workplace injury, it is important that they are brought to justice and not be allowed to continue their dangerous behavior. We have worked with many individuals and families throughout the years to recover damages for workplace accidents. This may include compensation for medical bills, emergency room bills, rehabilitation expenses, and lost wages.

Your Local Resource for Job Injury Claims in Athens

In Athens, workplace safety is a priority, and local government entities like the Georgia Department of Labor are dedicated to ensuring that employees are protected while on the job. Local resources such as the Athens-Clarke County government provide information on workplace safety regulations and employee rights.

However, despite these regulations, job injuries can still occur, leaving workers and their families facing significant challenges. Whether you work in the bustling downtown area or in the surrounding industrial zones, the risk of accidents is ever-present, especially in high-risk sectors such as construction and manufacturing.

When a job injury happens, it can lead to financial strain due to medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing recovery costs. Many workers in Athens may feel overwhelmed by the complexities of workers' compensation claims, the procedural hurdles involved, and the potential for pushback from employers or insurance companies. Understanding your rights and the full range of compensation you may be entitled to is critical in securing your future.

Our team at Shipman & Associates, P.C. is here to help. With our guidance, you can focus on recovery while we fight for the justice and benefits you deserve. Don't face this challenging time alone — trust us to protect your interests and advocate for the compensation you're entitled to.
