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.

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.

5 Extreme Hazards that can Cause Your Work Injury in Georgia

When your employer fails to provide safety in the workplace, you can be seriously injured, which may grant you eligibility to file Workers Compensation claims. Some hazards include:

inadequate equipment: broken goggles, clothing that is not fire- or chemical-proof, lack of gloves, and other equipment;
cluttered rooms: disorganized shelving, boxes scattered on the ground, loose papers lying around;
car accidents: failure to inspect commercial vehicles, improper loading, being overworked and fatigued;
heat exhaustion: excessive exposure to the sun, discouraging water breaks, insufficient clothing; and
slip and falls: lack of handrails, failure to warn of spills, unstable grounds.

Depending on your type of job, you may be exposed to different kinds of workplace injuries or much more susceptible to particular injuries.
