When someone is injured on the job, it is one of the most difficult times of their lives. You are in pain and without the ability to earn the same wages as before. One would hope that the employers and the insurance companies would have your best interests at heart, but they don't. The system is hard to navigate.
The insurance companies routinely deny claims, delay your access to medical treatment, fail to pay for reasonable medical care and fail to timely issue income benefits when you are unable to work. The insurance companies like to offer small settlements to manipulate you into giving up your rights for pennies on the dollar.

Karisa Kopaczewski Klee's legal career has exclusively been dedicated to the field of workers' compensation. She began her career with a large insurance defense firm and was subsequently named Partner while working for a full-service regional law firm. After a decade of representing employers and insurance companies, Ms. Klee now represents injured workers throughout the state of Georgia.
Workers' compensation is an insurance program that guarantees payment of medical benefits and a portion of weekly earnings to employees who are injured while working. Workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance system. It doesn't matter whether you were responsible for the accident that caused your injuries.
Workers' compensation in Georgia includes income benefits, medical benefits and, in the case of workplace fatalities, death benefits. There is no recovery for pain and suffering. In Georgia, benefits are based on two types of injury designations, catastrophic and noncatastrophic. Generally, a catastrophic injury is an injury that leaves the injured worker unable to work in any capacity at any job.
If you have suffered a catastrophic injury at work, it is extremely important that you receive all of the workers' compensation benefits to which you are entitled. This is a difficult time for you or your loved one, and you need the expertise of an attorney to help you. It is best if your energy is focused on recovery from your injuries without the worry of legal issues.

I can say I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case. Chaddrick was very attentive and compassionate. He cared about how I was feeling and the care that I received. Heidi made me feel like she had my back and fought tooth and nail for the best monetary outcome. Chaddrick and Heidi are the best. Thank you both so much. You are appreciated.
