I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.
Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

When Work Injury in GA is Caused by Employer Negligence

If you are aware of dangerous conditions that could lead to a work injury in Georgia, you should report the danger to your employer. If your employer fails to take action or retaliates against you, your next step is to file a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and speak with a Hiram, GA work injury attorney.

Information to Provide When Filing a Complaint to OSHA

the number of employees exposed to the dangerous conditions;

how workers are exposed;
the kind of work performed at your workplace;
materials or chemicals used at your workplace;
how long the dangerous conditions have existed;
whether anyone has been injured; and
whether there have been any past problems.

Although you can file an anonymous complaint, keep in mind that it is illegal for your employer to retaliate if you:

file a complaint;
refuse to work when danger is imminent; or
assert your legal rights.

Employers are responsible for taking the necessary steps to prevent a work injury in Georgia. When this responsibility is neglected, and you become a victim, do not hesitate to contact a Hiram, GA, work injury attorney.
