Suffering Back or Neck Injuries?
Call Our Atlanta Workers’ Compensation Lawyer!
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, one in every five workplace injuries are actually back injuries. The severity of these injuries can vary greatly. While some back and neck injuries may be instantly painful and identifiable, others may take time to develop and show symptoms.
Sadly, neck and back injuries can render most employees unable to perform their job duties, causing them to miss time from work as they are often suffering from medical complications. If you have suffered a neck or back injury while on the job, we encourage you to call our Atlanta workers’ compensation attorney as soon as possible to discuss the specifics of your situation.
Identifying the Seriousness of Your Injuries
There are two main types of pain you may experience with neck or back injuries: acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain will often come on quickly following a serious accident. However, this type of pain typically fades or diminishes within a few weeks or a month. Still, this pain can require time away from work and be very debilitating. On the other hand, chronic pain continues far longer than just a few weeks, often afflicting an injury victim for years, even lasting a lifetime for some individuals. This means it may require long-term care and support.
We can help clients with varying ranges of injuries:
- Temporary Partial Disability
You may have serious injuries, but you will likely be able to resume your job responsibilities after recovery. This still calls for workers’ comp benefits for treatment. - Permanent Partial Disability
While you may be able to return to work, you won’t be able to handle your former duties due to your injuries. If available, your employer may provide a more suitable position. - Permanent Total Disability
The severity of your injuries will prevent you from returning to your former job in any capacity. This often means you will require a higher amount of workers’ comp.
Permanent partial or total disability can often require major medical operations or treatment, including neck or back surgery, rehabilitation, and other operations. We can review your case and help you determine what benefits you qualify for depending on your situation.

"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- Blanca
