We have developed a state-wide
practice representing employers
in cases involving every type of
injury from herniated disks to
heart attacks, and every type of
employee from sales to manual
labor. Our firm has successfully
defended many important cases,
including Abernathy v. City of
Albany, which shielded employers
and insurers from purely
psychological injury claims. The
broad range of our workers'
compensation practice
encompasses the extremes of
self-insureds and non-insureds.
In addition to representing
self-insured municipalities such
as the City of Albany, our
attorneys represent the State of
Georgia as Special Assistant
Attorneys General, and through
numerous servicing agents,
represent self-insured private
businesses throughout the state.
With the expertise and
experience that go with such
representation, our lawyers not
only defend against claims, but
help businesses limit their
future liability exposure - and
expense - by teaching them to
know and use workers'
compensation laws.
