Workers' Compensation

Macon Workers' Compensation Lawyer

A serious work-related injury can create a domino effect of problems for workers and their families. The biggest problem, however, is that many injured workers do not have any idea what they need to do to protect themselves after an injury or illness strikes.

We can help you recover.

Whether you were injured in an industrial accident, a construction accident, or simply while running an errand for your boss, protect your benefits and contact an experienced workman's comp attorney at Nelson & Smith, LLC today.

At Nelson & Smith, LLC, we represent people from throughout Middle Georgia and help them to navigate the workers' compensation system to receive the benefits they are entitled to as an injured worker. To maintain eligibility for benefits, you must:

  • Report your injury or medical diagnosis within 30 days
  • Be unable to work for a minimum of 7 days
  • Follow all treatment recommendations proscribed by your doctor

Our practice includes the negotiation of suitable 240 offers (return to work offers), and handling contested claims, administrative hearings, and workers' compensation appeals. You can be sure that from the beginning of your case through its conclusion—however long that takes—we will be there to help you get through it in any way we can.
