WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Workers’ Compensation Attorneys in Atlanta, Georgia
Workplaces should be safe. You have a right to expect your coworkers to adhere to safe workplace guidelines. Your employer is required to provide all the training and equipment necessary to prevent injuries.
Workplace injuries can and will happen, even when you, your employer and your coworkers are adhering to safety guidelines. If your employer isn’t treating your injury fairly, is trying to punish you for filing a claim or is trying to change the narrative to protect themselves at your expense, you should seriously consider speaking with a workers’ compensation attorney.
In some workplaces, what should happen and what does happen are very different things:

Coworkers can be lackadaisical and fail to do things the right way
Some employers simply don’t provide the necessary training to ensure their workers don’t make costly mistakes that could result in an injury
