Why hire the Delius Law Firm?

We handle workplace injury and motor vehicle accident claims on behalf of clients throughout Georgia. We can also help you if you live in another state but suffered your injuries in Georgia. Personal injury attorney Scott Delius can help make sure that your broken leg, arm, or other bones are properly diagnosed and treated, and will also seek an adequate settlement and prepare for trial.

For construction workers, warehouse employees, or commercial drivers who suffer broken bones in the course of their employment, a workers' compensation claim will usually be necessary to make sure that you collect the benefits you need while you recover. Depending on the nature of the accident, it's possible that certain fractures might be missed during emergency treatment. We can help make sure that all of your injuries are properly identified and cared for, especially if the employer or workers' comp insurer resists further tests or treatment.

Although it's usually reasonable to expect that a broken bone will heal, there are situations where one or more fractures can result in a more prolonged period of disability. Depending on the victim's age, physical condition, and history of prior injuries, a broken shoulder, knee, or ankle accompanied by extensive soft tissue damage in the joint can keep you out of action for an extended period of time. In the event of such broken bones as a crushed pelvis, multiple vertebral fractures in the back or neck, or breaks of both wrists or ankles in the same incident, the recovery period might be a long one, and your workers' compensation benefits should reflect that.

Our experience with the presentation and proof of complex injury claims can represent an important advantage in your favor in both personal injury litigation and the resolution of workers' compensation claims.
