Workers' Comp Claims for Factory and Plant Accidents
Factories and industrial plants today are for the most part much safer places to work than they were in previous generations, but that is no consolation for the factory worker or mill hand who suffers a serious injury on the job. If you or someone in your family has been hurt at work, contact an experienced lawyer at the Delius Law Firm for advice about your right to workers' compensation benefits.
Why hire the Delius Law Firm?
We represent people who have been hurt at poultry processing plants, carpet mills, paper mills, assembly plants, or any other industrial facility. Our familiarity with the proof of injury claims of all kinds, together with our long experience with Georgia workers' compensation law and procedure, can mean that your claim will be handled promptly and professionally from the start.
Our clients' injuries can result from any number of causes: falls from heights, heavy equipment accidents, explosions, loading dock accidents, drill press malfunctions, or any other risk inherent in work in an industrial setting. The injuries that can result in a lost-time workers claim can range from the relatively minor to the disabling, including any of the following:
- Closed head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Neck and back injuries resulting in disc damage
- Spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis
- Loss of eyesight
- Amputation of hands, feet, arms, legs or fingers
- Broken bones or fractures
- Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel or rotator cuff problems
- Joint injuries involving the knee, shoulder, ankle, or wrist
- Nerve problems such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
In workers' compensation cases, it is not necessary to prove the negligence or fault of your employer or anyone else to qualify for benefits. The main issues are whether you were injured in the course of your employment, whether you were hurt badly enough to keep you from working, and when you are ready to return to work.
Even these simple questions can generate difficult litigation over the nature and extent of your injury, the duration of your period of disability, or your right to treatment or surgery for particular symptoms or conditions.
