Warehouse and Loading Docks
Loading Dock Accident and Warehouse Injury Claims
Any workplace where tons of freight are delivered and stored can be a dangerous place. If you have suffered a serious injury at a warehouse, loading dock, delivery bay, or other facility where shipping and receiving can put workers at risk, contact Georgia workers' compensation lawyer Scott Delius for a free consultation about your right to payment for injuries suffered while loading, delivering, or storing goods of any kind.
Many factors can contribute to the hazards of warehouse and shipping work. Workers can be pinned between a truck and a loading bay, struck by falling boxes or crates that were improperly stacked, injured by a forklift rollover or collision, hurt by falling in a slippery or unlit area, or sickened by exposure to poorly contained hazardous substances. Warehouse employees can also hurt themselves through overexertion, repetitive stress, or the degenerative effects of heavy lifting over a long period of time.
At the Delius Law Firm, our understanding of Georgia workers' compensation law and our familiarity with the proof of injury claims of all kinds can help you collect the benefits you need while recovering from a workplace accident. Even if your initial claim is denied, we may be able to document your injuries and relate it to your work so that your employer or its workers' comp carrier will be responsible for your lost wages and treatment expenses.
Why hire Scott?
Workers' compensation claims are frequently denied or resisted by employers and insurers. They might contest the fact of the injury or the claim that it happened at work. They might resist payment for diagnostic tests or therapies that are essential to your complete recovery. Your benefits might be incorrectly calculated, or terminated before you are ready to return to work. Atlanta workers' comp attorney Scott Delius has seen these problems many times before and knows how to handle them.
In some cases, you might have the right to sue a non-employer defendant for negligence at the same time you're collecting workers' comp benefits. We can advise you about the full range of your rights and work toward recovering all the payments you might be entitled to from whatever source.
