If you work as a nurse, orderly, assistant or other direct care providers in any type of healthcare facility, you are no stranger to daily physical strain and hard work. In some situations, however, serious injuries occur and cannot be ignored. If you have suffered an on-the-job injury and need to know your rights and legal options, contact us today at the Hart Law LLC in Atlanta.
Ready to Prove What Happened and Show Your Need for Compensation
Given the chaotic conditions and shared responsibilities that prevail in hospitals and other care facilities, some health care workers are concerned about "fault" being assigned for a nursing injury or other injury-causing accident. Under Georgia workers' compensation law, however, our need is to prove that your injury occurred at work and is severe enough to prevent you from working. Employer or co-worker negligence is not a factor.
Our attorney and dedicated support team are well prepared to evaluate your case involving a nursing or other health care injury such as:
- A back injury or serious neck injury suffered while moving or repositioning patients, sometimes resulting in chronic pain
- An injury due to a slip-and-fall on a wet or otherwise slippery surface
- Injuries resulting from failed or misdirected injections
- A head injury or other serious outcome from a collision with co-workers or patients
- Shoulder, wrist or other injuries resulting either from a single event or repetitive use
