Injured In A Work Accident?
People spend most of their week on the job, leaving plenty of room for risk of injury. Frequently, hard-working people suffer severe injuries due to situations that are simply beyond their control. Whether from a construction accident, slip and fall, or equipment defect, these injuries can lead to lost wages, extensive medical bills, and pain and suffering.
The good news is that Georgia law allows legal action to be taken by those who have been hurt while working. Our Marietta work injury lawyers can provide the guidance you need while you seek to file a claim.
Common Causes Of Workplace Injuries
Accidents happen for several reasons in a workplace setting. For example, those who work at factories or facilities where machinery or heavy lifting is frequently involved will typically face more risk for injuries.
Some common causes of workplace injuries include:
Overextension
From excessive lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, etc.
Slip And Falls
Or trip and falls – while on the job – are risks to workers
Equipment
Defective or hazardous equipment along with falling objects/hazardous materials
Motor Vehicles
Workplace vehicle accidents and reckless co-worker conduct
Insufficient Safety
Insufficient safety guidelines or training – adds strain and stress to your body
Employers and insurance companies can be challenging to deal with when workplace injuries occur. You must consult an experienced Marietta workplace injury lawyer immediately following an accident. If you wait too long to report an injury or do not seek medical treatment right away, you could end up having your claim denied!
Employers and insurance companies often refuse to pay for medical treatment and disability benefits when the injured person does not sufficiently present their case. This is why you need to let us help you build your case!
