Augusta Workers' Compensation Lawyers

Serving Augusta for 40 Years and Counting

You’ve been hurt on the job. Medical bills are stacking up, and you have a family relying on you. 

Injuries that occur while a person is at work are often treated differently than other injuries. This is because of workers’ compensation: a system that allows injured individuals to collect benefits when an injury happens while performing your job duties. We’ve been serving injured workers and getting them the money they deserve for 40 years. Let us help you next.

Get the Money You Deserve

While workers’ compensation benefits can be critical for your recovery, you may be entitled to even more money in your pocket after a workplace injury. If your accident was the result of a third party such as, for example, another employee or a defective machine part, you could have an additional personal injury claim on top of your workers’ comp claim. That could mean a substantial sum of money. Find out your legal options when you speak with a Montlick attorney for your free consultation. Our attorneys thoroughly explore every avenue possible to maximize your financial compensation.

Paula cares for the well being for her clients. Paula did an outstanding job with my case, she was easy to work with, I did everything by email or phone calls. And got me what I deserved. If you looking for a good lawyer. That cares about her clients. I highly recommend Paula Malona.Thank you, Paula for everything you had done for me and looking out for my best interest.

Honestly, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. My family and I have been through so much in the last 2 years and Nives Juric and her team have been absolutely amazing! They took so much stress off of me by stepping up and taking care of everything, it has truly been a saving grace! I would highly recommend putting your trust in them to get the job done!

October 2022, I was injured on my part time job. I hurt my back and was in a lot of pain. I called Montlick And Associates and was directed to attorney Jeffrey Kowalski and his paralegal Christopher Phillips they were awesome they fought for me and got me the settlement I deserved. I received phone calls from them asking me how was I feeling and if I needed anything. Excellent law firm I would definitely use them again 👍. Cherry Nesbit

Attorney Jason Saltzman and his assistant Kris Brown did an exceptional job working my case. From beginning to end they were very caring about my injuries and concerns. They responded to all my calls, text and emails in a timely fashion and never seem to have an issue with all my questions, and I had many. Because of their obvious honesty, I decided that I could trust them to handle my business and decided to utilize patience. Although there were times that I wondered what was going on, was convinced that they had my best interest in mind. Kris made sure that she requested any and all documents and information they needed and followed up with me if needed. I would recommend this team at Motlick and Associates to anyone who may find themself in a situation like mine and have to endure the pain, suffering and injuries that I endured. At the end of the day I believe they did the best they could on my behalf. Although I am still experiencing the after effects of my surgery. I fell a since of relief from the outcome my team was able to achieve. Thank you Attorney Saltzman and Kris Brown.

Get the Most Money for Your Claim

Under Georgia Law, if you sustain an injury on the job because of the negligence of a third party that is not your employer, you could be entitled to pursue a personal injury claim against that party in addition to your workers’ comp claim. Ultimately, that could mean more money to compensate you for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages
  • and more

Workers' Comp Lawyers for Injured Augusta Workers

Georgia Worker's Comp Requirements

There are a few steps that must be taken in order to have a valid workers’ comp claim. When you call Montlick, we can walk you through it.

Title 34 requires an employee who was injured on the job to notify their employer within 30 days of the job-related injury. The same time frame applies to the injury or death of a loved one to be eligible for benefits. Notice should be given to the worker’s:

  • Direct supervisor
  • Company owner
  • Human resources department
  • Other parties as designated by the business

Your employer might specify the manner in which they want to receive notice of the injury as well. There are some exceptions to this rule. You must also file a notice of workers’ compensation with the State Board of Workers’ Compensation and send a copy to your employer and its workers’ compensation carrier.

You have the right under Title 34 to file a claim with the Georgia Workers’ Compensation Board. They will review your case and may refer it to a workers’ compensation judge.

If you request a hearing, it can generally be scheduled with the State Board of Workers’ Compensation. The judge will listen to both sides of the case before making a ruling. The judge will decide, based on the evidence, whether you are entitled to receive compensation for your injury, using criteria that include:

  • Whether the injury occurred in the course of employment
  • The seriousness of the injury
  • Whether the injury is permanent
  • If you can return to work
  • The number of weeks you are entitled to benefits

Workers’ compensation laws are complex. It is important to get the advice of experienced workers’ comp attorneys to make sure you’re getting the money you deserve.
