I've been out of work since April due to an injury I sustained at work. I learned that I had carpal tunnel syndrome and other problems that rendered my hands useless. The year has been difficult. I am a single mother of three, and today brought me the serenity I required. I was able to secure a settlement of $30,000 through the help of my attorney, Peri Morgan and her assistant Arlene. Which was more than the typical amount for a typical hand injury. They genuinely care! Please contact them if you require legal representation for an accident at work. 💙💙

DO NOT GO WITH THIS FIRM ! They do not communicate weekly or biweekly to give you updates on your case. You have to call the office 100 times to speak to someone about your case, when they should be calling you because you hired them. When you finally get someone on the phone , they speak in the mono & nonchalant tone like you’re just another case in the stack. If you show up to there office to speak to someone in person they insult you and insinuate that you’re a maniac that’s going to shoot up their office (TRUE STORY) and also withdraw from your case. quick back story I went to there office to speak to someone since I couldn’t reach anyone via telephone or email and they said I was out of line for coming to their office. I did not come to office mad or anything. I am a person that prefers to handle business in person. They withdrew from my case because they weren’t doing there job but I was too far along in the case to find another lawyer so I had to basically rehire them. Ok Next thing, when it come to your settlement, they basically force you to go with the settlement the opposing party is offering, when you tell them you’re not satisfied with the number and you want to take it to trial they tell you that you’re going to lose and you may as well go back to work. I feel like they should fight harder because you are paying a HEFTY 25% of the final amount. I honestly feel like they do not deserve 25% because they did the BARE MINIMUM and did not fight for me at all. They do not go over and beyond to make sure their client is satisfied with the offer. I would name the people in their office but I rather not. My experience with this firm was horrible and I was not satisfied with my final settlement.

Yes. You are not automatically disqualified from Social Security Disability insurance (SSDI) benefits just because you also have been approved for workers’ compensation benefits, and vice versa. Federal regulations may reduce but not eliminate your SSDI benefits once you are approved for workers’ compensation, though.
Georgia allows workers’ compensation benefits to be rewarded to employees who suffer sensory damage, such as deafness and blindness, while performing work-related duties. In fact, hearing loss is the most common form of employee injury in the country, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data. Determining the amount of compensation deserved for hearing or sight loss may be complicated, and it is often advised that workers seek the counsel of a professional Georgia workers’ compensation attorney to ensure a fair sum is given.
Necessary travel to reach authorized physicians and treatment centers could become quite costly. As part of an approved workers’ compensation claim, you are entitled to reimbursement for travel expenses. You will need to provide evidence of your travel costs – such as receipts for gas, your home address, and the shortest distance from your home to your treatment center – to be reimbursed. Your employer’s insurance carrier may set a cap on how much coverage you can obtain for travel expenses alone.
Pursuant to the Georgia Workers’ Compensation Act, anyone who has been injured in a workplace accident and is unable to work is eligible for certain benefits, which includes payment of two-thirds of your weekly income (up to a maximum of $575/week – this amount is subject to change due to inflation) for up to 400 weeks. In cases involving certain catastrophic injuries, the injured employee may be entitled to receive benefits for the rest of his or her life. Employers are also required to pay any and all reasonable medical expenses resulting from the injury.
In Georgia, any company that regularly employs three or more full-time or part-time employees is required to carry workers’ compensation insurance.

Unfortunately every case is different. The insurance company has up to 21 days to investigate your case. If an insurance company refused to pay your claim, it could take much longer to get the benefits you need. That is why our team here at the firm fights to get you the best settlement possible for your workers’ compensation claim. We work quickly and effectively to ensure your case is resolved in a timely manner.
Yes. In Georgia, you have only 30 days to officially report your injury. If you do not report it within this timeframe, you may damage your case and be denied the chance to obtain workers’ compensation benefits. The quicker you act following a workplace accident, the better.
If you are injured on the job, the workers' compensation insurance company representing your employer is required to pay for all medical treatment related to your work injuries. You should not be required to pay any money towards your medical expenses, as they should all be covered by workers’ compensation. That includes bills and deductibles. You may also be reimbursed for any transportation expenses related to your doctor’s appointments or other healthcare providers.
If you are injured in an on the job accident, you should notify your supervisor and co-workers immediately. You should request a copy the panel of physicians and seek medical care from a doctor on the panel if in fact the employer has a posted panel. It is also important that you ensure your rights and best interests are effectively represented during this time. You should retain the counsel of an Atlanta workers’ compensation lawyer. The Law Offices of Nathaniel F. Hansford, LLC represent clients across Georgia and Alabama. You can call on us today for trusted counsel.
No they cannot
The workers’ compensation system is an exclusive remedy for employees against their employers and co-workers, which means that injured employees are barred from suing for personal injury if their employers have WC insurance. However, injured workers are allowed to make personal injury claims against third parties (i.e. someone other than an employer or coworker). For example, if an unsafe piece of equipment caused your injury, you may be able to sue the manufacturer for damages.
