I Suffered a Knee Injury on the Job. Now What?
You may be wondering how you should pursue compensation for the knee injury you suffered due to work. Our Atlanta workers’ comp attorney has handled countless cases like yours in his over 30 years of experience and can help you take the next best step forward.
So what do you need to make sure you do following your injury?

- Make sure your employer has begun the claims process
- Select a primary physician to evaluate your knee injury
- Work with our firm to ensure you are given maximum benefits
Not only do we strive to recover the maximum amount of workers’ compensation available in your case, we also connect you with the best possible doctors and physicians for exceptional medical care. Our goal is to help you recover both physically and financially. From the very start of your workers' comp case, Attorney Kaleita will listen closely to your legal needs and concerns, giving you the personalized attention and support you deserve.
While some knee injuries may keep you out of work for only a month or two, others can be more extensive, particularly when surgery is required. An ACL tear, for example, is a severe injury that typically requires surgery, with a recovery period of up to six months before you can return to work. ACL is short for Anterior Cruciate Ligament, and ligaments take a long time to heal; this particular surgery requires replacing the ACL with a transplanted ACL, or with a tendon. It is a long recovery process, and you may find that you are not able to return to your original job when you recover, if your job requires heavy physical labor. It is important to have an experienced Workers' Compensation attorney to guide you through this process, to help you determine your capabilities, and to reach a settlement at the end that provides you with fair compensation given your permanent restrictions and limitations.

"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
