Workplace injury (occupational trauma) is unfortunately a frequent occurrence in Georgia, particularly in the construction and industrial sectors. Employers are obliged to ensure a safe working environment, yet negligence of safety norms often leads to severe consequences. In the event of a workplace injury, an employee has the right to demand not only reimbursement of medical expenses but also compensation for loss of working capacity and moral damage. This service helps injured employees protect their rights against employers who often try to avoid liability and label the injury as "negligence." A qualified lawyer ensures that the Labor Inspection report is objective and the victim receives full statutory compensation.
What does this service cover?
Managing workplace injury claims includes:
- Incident Investigation: Investigating facts, interviewing witnesses, and determining whether safety norms (helmets, safety nets, training) were followed.
- Liaison with Labor Inspection: Engaging the State Labor Inspection and legally analyzing their report, which is crucial for the court.
- Medical Assessment: Determining the degree of health impairment and calculating treatment/rehabilitation costs.
- Negotiation with Employer: Demanding compensation out of court. Companies often agree to pay to avoid publicity.
- Litigation: Filing a lawsuit for damages (including monthly allowance) if the employer refuses to pay.
