Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers Across Georgia
Getting hurt on the job can disrupt every part of your life — from your ability to earn a paycheck to covering medical bills. While Georgia’s workers’ compensation system is intended to protect employees, many injured workers face denials, delays, and limited benefits.
At The C. Paul Law Firm P.C., we fight for workers across Georgia who have been injured on the job. We handle workers’ compensation claims and pursue third-party lawsuits when applicable to maximize recovery for our clients.
