We are known throughout the region for providing truly committed and caring legal services to hard workers who suffer job-related injuries. This most recent of case results is once again a testament to what our team is capable of achieving.
Our client was working as a forklift driver when he suffered catastrophic injuries. He was knocked unconscious and sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other serious harm as he fell to the concrete. He was later diagnosed with a closed head injury, including a skull fracture and bilateral subdural hematomas caused by bleeding in his brain.
Our client also suffered the following injuries:
- Back injury
- Bulging spinal discs

The extent and severity of our client’s injuries made it wholly unlikely that he would be able to return to regular work duties anytime soon. He also needed significant medical treatments and rehabilitation as a result. Our team of Atlanta workers’ compensation attorneys worked diligently to ensure the responding insurance company would provide the workers’ comp benefits he needed to be as comfortable as can be as he recovered.
In the end, we were able to secure his full medical treatment costs, as well as payment for his indemnity benefits. The final settlement reached was $285,449.91.
