Worker's Compensation

Workers in Dublin, Macon and Milledgeville, GA who are hurt on the job often make the assumption that they can expect to be fairly compensated for their injury through workers' compensation. Unfortunately, many employees experience just the opposite, with the employer and the insurer denying the claim or delaying payments.

Our expertise matters

At Edwards & Bullard, we offer an experienced workers' comp attorney who has the knowledge, understanding, and legal expertise to assist you through the process. We work with you to ensure all paperwork is submitted within the deadlines.

Our workers' comp attorneys are fully trained in mediation, allowing for the vast majority of our cases to settle fairly and without the delay involved of an administrative hearing. Our attorneys are also fully prepared to proceed to judicial hearings if the insurance company refuses to make reasonable settlement offers.

We provide both public and private sector employers with practical and strategic advice and guidance to assist in making sound decisions that are consistent with applicable labor laws and best practices.

Types of workers' compensation claims include:

• Auto Workers
• Brain Injuries
• Construction Accidents
• Heart Injuries
• Motor Vehicles Unions
• Union Workers

The benefits provided under the workers’ comp system allow you to obtain important medical treatment to help you recover from your industrial injury. If your injury is work-related, then the insurance company is responsible to pay for your medical bills, time off work, and even a compensation.

Here Are Some of the Typical Questions that We Receive:
