Common Types of Workplace Accidents

Atlanta Workers' Compensation Attorney

Every kind of job has its dangers. Whether you are working as a construction worker or office manager, accidents can and do happen. While each accident is different, if yours took place while you were on the job, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, time away from work, and more. By speaking with a workers' comp attorney, you can find out if you are eligible.

We work tirelessly to settle cases out of court whenever possible, because we know doing so will save our clients unnecessary stress and financial hardship. In cases where we are unable to settle on your behalf, we are fully prepared to represent your case in court to see you get the most positive outcome possible.

There Are Many Types of Work Accidents, Including:

  • Slip & Fall Accidents - These can occur because of wet floors, improperly maintained equipment, and more.
  • Construction Accidents - These can happen when a worker falls from a ladder, gets electrocuted from an improperly grounded wire, and even equipment breaks due to lack of maintenance.
  • Equipment Malfunction - On the job, malfunctioning equipment can leave workers with serious injuries.
  • Prolonged Exposure to Chemicals - Exposure to chemicals, cleaning materials, and other substances can leave workers with life-long illnesses. All workers have the right to safe working conditions.

    "The most humble person I have met in this profession and cares about the overall outcome."
    I was injured in the apocalypse snow storm of Atlanta in 2014, I never intended or thought I would need an attorney to assist me with all the ongoing paperwork, needed to get me through this long and draining process. In the process I was not only drained of going to therapy 5 days a week 3 hours a day, groggy from pain pills, and really no in my right mind to make good decisions, I wanted this over and done with, but when I felt being pushed into the wrong direction by insurance company, I had no choice but to start my search I logged in on a Saturday and begin emailing attorneys to see if anyone could help me. On a Sunday Mr. Kaleita called we discussed the case not even being a client yet it was an immediate trust and connection, he understood my frustration and since that day I felt he has been a guardian angel to help me in every step of the way. Even when I thought we were completed, he was such a thorough person, he not only checked once but twice and always found something overall I feel he has become my greatest attorney yet, as well as a mutual friend..the most humble person I have met in this profession and cares about the overall outcome. I would recommend him to anyone. No matter what matter you may have he has a resource in the legal field to help you get your answers. Very knowledgeable in his field
