The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Workers’ Compensation

Karell Trial Attorneys protect your claim from start to finish
Karell Trial Attorneys will file and pursue your workers’ compensation claim. However, there are steps you can take to strengthen your case.
Report your injury immediately
Always report a workplace injury to your supervisor or employer as soon as it happens. Make sure the report is in writing. Your employer must notify their workers’ compensation insurance company within one business day.
Even if you cannot report your injury immediately, you still have 30 days to file your claim under Georgia law.
Get medical attention promptly
Seek medical care as soon as possible. For emergencies, go to the hospital immediately. For less severe injuries, notify your employer and request to see a doctor. Your employer must provide a panel of at least six doctors for you to choose from.
Filing a third-party claim
Some work injuries involve a third party, allowing you to take legal action beyond workers’ compensation. For example, if you are injured in a car accident while working and another driver is at fault, you can pursue a claim against that driver.
An attorney from Karell Trial Attorneys can help you obtain workers’ compensation benefits and compensation from a third party, if applicable.
We have years of experience handling all types of workers’ compensation claims in Atlanta
Our Atlanta workers’ compensation attorneys handle all types of work injury cases. Some injuries happen suddenly in accidents, while others develop from repetitive motion or hazardous conditions over time. No matter your situation, we are here to help.
Accident-related injuries
Workplace accidents can happen in any job, even those that seem low-risk. Whether you work in construction or an office, accidents such as slips, falls, and equipment malfunctions can lead to injuries. We can help you seek compensation for injuries such as:
- Burns
- Spinal injuries
- Electrocution
- Broken bones
- Lacerations or amputations
- Brain injuries
- Heatstroke
- Eye injuries
Overuse injuries
Repetitive motion can cause strain or damage over time. Whether you lift heavy objects or type for long periods, overusing injuries can result in carpal tunnel, tendonitis, or other conditions.
Work-related illnesses
Exposure to hazardous conditions can lead to illness. Mold, asbestos, and chemicals in the workplace can cause serious health issues such as respiratory problems and cancer. We can help you secure compensation for job-related illnesses.
Psychological injuries
Georgia workers’ compensation laws also cover mental health conditions related to your job. If you experience a traumatic event at work and develop anxiety, PTSD, or other conditions, we can help you prove the connection and receive compensation.
