Personal Injury Law

Four officers in wheelchairs came forward in Atlanta last week to speak out against the city's workers' compensation system. According to the former police officers that were injured while on-duty, the city's workers' compensation program has been systematically challenging their medical needs for the past two years.

In addition to questioning the men's need for oxygen, the city has apparently also delayed crucial repairs to wheelchairs, cut off drugs to the officers, and delayed much-needed surgeries. The officers claim that the city is fighting their treatments because they are trying to save money.

When companies and local government agencies refuse to provide workers with the compensation they need after a work-related injury, it can seriously impact their ability to receive the medical care they require. An experienced workers' compensation lawyer will work for you so that you get the compensation you need for your medical expenses as well as for the pay you would have received if you hadn't been injured on the job.
