Protecting the Rights of Injured Construction Workers in Georgia
Construction workers face some of the most dangerous job conditions in Georgia. From falls from heights and scaffolding accidents to heavy machinery and electrical hazards, construction site injuries are often catastrophic—and sometimes fatal. Georgia law provides important protections for injured workers, but employers, contractors, and property owners often fail to meet their legal responsibilities.
At The C. Paul Law Firm P.C., we represent injured construction workers throughout Georgia. We pursue maximum compensation through workers’ compensation claims and third-party personal injury lawsuits when negligence by contractors, property owners, or other third parties caused the injury.
