Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Injured at Work? Start Here.

We Represent Workers in Complex Injury Cases

Getting hurt on the job can turn your life upside down. You may be unable to work, facing a long recovery, and unsure if your employer or the insurance company is giving you the full picture. We help injured workers throughout Alabama and Georgia navigate the workers’ compensation process, challenge denied claims, and pursue additional lawsuits when someone outside your company was at fault. With decades of trial experience and a reputation for taking cases seriously, we step in when the system stops working like it should.

What We Handle

Workers’ Comp Is Just the Beginning

We handle both standard workers’ comp claims and complex injury cases where a third party may also be responsible.

Denied or Delayed Workers’ Comp Claims

If your claim was denied or payments are delayed, we step in to push back and fight for the benefits you’re owed.

Serious On-the-Job Injuries

We represent workers who’ve suffered back injuries, broken bones, burns, or trauma that prevents them from returning to work.

Third-Party Liability Lawsuits

If your injury was caused by a subcontractor, vendor, or equipment malfunction, we may be able to file a separate personal injury claim in addition to workers’ comp.

Jobsite Accidents in Industrial Settings

We frequently represent workers injured in factories, warehouses, and construction zones—especially in situations involving unsafe conditions or heavy machinery.

Fatal Workplace Accidents

We help families pursue wrongful death benefits and, where appropriate, file lawsuits against third parties for additional recovery.

How the Law Works in Your State

Different Rules. Same Commitment.

Workers’ compensation laws in Alabama and Georgia differ in important ways. We handle claims in both states and guide you through what applies in your case.

Alabama requires injuries to be reported quickly

and benefits are often limited unless aggressively pursued.

Georgia allows you to choose a doctor from your employer’s panel

but we can help if that care isn’t working for you.

Both states allow third-party lawsuits

which can provide additional compensation beyond what workers’ comp pays.

Workers’ Comp FAQs

What to Know After a Work Injury

  • What should I do right after getting hurt at work?

    Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible, seek medical attention, and make sure the incident is documented. Each state has strict timelines and reporting requirements—missing them can hurt your case. If you’re unsure whether your report was handled correctly or if you’re being treated fairly, it’s worth speaking to a lawyer early.

  • Can I choose my own doctor?

    In Georgia, you’re allowed to pick from a list of doctors provided by your employer. In Alabama, your employer chooses the initial doctor, but you may have the right to request a panel of four physicians or seek a second opinion in certain situations. We can help you understand your rights and push for better care if needed.

  • What if the insurance company denies my claim?

    If your claim is denied, you still have options. You may be entitled to a hearing or appeal through the workers’ comp system. We review the reason for the denial, gather supporting evidence, and fight to reverse the decision. Insurance companies often hope injured workers will give up—we make sure you don’t have to.

  • How do I know if I have a third-party case?

    If someone outside your company—like a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or delivery driver—caused your injury, you may be able to file a separate lawsuit in addition to your workers’ comp claim. These cases can provide compensation for pain and suffering, lost income, and long-term harm. We investigate thoroughly to uncover all options.

  • How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for workers’ comp?

    You don’t pay anything up front. Workers’ compensation cases are typically handled on a contingency basis, with attorney fees regulated by the state. That means we only get paid if we secure benefits or compensation for you—and you never pay out of pocket just to ask for help.
