Tick! Tock! Is your workers compensation claim about to expire?

Recently a client came into our office for a free initial consultation about her workers compensation injury. It had happened sometime ago. Her employer did not tell her she was entitled to additional benefits. Her employer did not tell her that if she did not take immediate legal action she would be forever barred from getting these benefits which she is entitled to under Georgia law. She was literally days away from this bar to her case occurring.

The insurance company and adjuster for the employer did not tell her she was about to lose her benefits either. Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Are you a person with a worker compensation injury who is about to loose your benefits? Tick! Tock!
Because of our technology and training, we filed her claim in Atlanta, Georgia, the same day protecting her benefits until we could settle the case or try it. We were able to get her treated again under her Workers Compensation benefits. This case is not over. But now she has experienced legal counsel to make sure that she gets all of her benefits. Again, there were with no upfront legal cost for the initial consultation. Usually fees are paid out of the settlement that we obtain for our clients.
