Put Our Lowe’s Workers’ Compensation Claims Lawyers in Atlanta to Work for You
Large companies in Georgia are required to have workers’ compensation insurance in case one of their employees is injured. Workers’ comp benefits, though, can be hard to obtain alone.
When you hire the legal team at Bader Scott to represent you, you do not have to pursue benefits on your own. We can:
- Define Georgia’s workers’ comp laws and how they apply to your claim
- Complete and file all required paperwork for the application process
- Notify your employer of your injury if you have not already done so
- Build the strongest possible casefile that proves your injury occurred at work
- Document the value of your average weekly wages to maximize the financial benefits we can seek
- Fight for workers’ comp death benefits for surviving families of Lowe’s employees
- Negotiate a lump sum settlement when possible
- Investigate the possibility of third-party compensation if your injuries were negligence-based
No one should handle all these details alone or forego legal support because of its costs. An Atlanta personal injury lawyer from our firm can represent you on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you only compensate our law firm if we recover damages for you. It also means you can get started right away and avoid a potentially costly filing delay.

Lowe’s Employees Start Getting Workers’ Comp Medical Benefits Immediately
If you or a loved one was hurt at work, your employer is required to cover your treatment costs starting immediately. They must also continue to cover all costs (medical, rehab, therapy, etc.) until you reach maximum medical improvement.
Per Georgia’s State Board of Workers’ Compensation (SBWC) guidelines, you have a responsibility to report your injury to your employer right away. If you do not report it within 30 days, you could be disqualified from getting medical or financial benefits.
Our Atlanta personal injury attorneys can manage all these details for you. Find out how by contacting our consultation team at Bader Scott today.
Our Lowe’s Workers’ Comp Claims Attorneys Seek Maximum Financial Benefits
Financial benefits start after your injuries cause you to miss at least seven days of work. How long you receive benefits varies depending on the degree of your disability. For example:
- Temporary Partial Disability (TPD): When you cannot work at the same capacity or salary until you heal
- Temporary Total Disability (TTD): When you cannot return to work at all until you heal
You will receive up to two-thirds of your average weekly salary for the period you cannot work. Our work injury lawyers work hard to accurately assess your weekly wage. We also fight for an accurate disability rating.

Our Atlanta Workers’ Comp Claims Lawyers Also Pursue Third-Party Damages
Sometimes, injured Lowe’s employees can receive third-party damages in addition to their workers’ compensation benefits. This is typically the case when a vendor, supplier, contractor, or other third party behaved negligently.
To prove you are entitled to this additional form of compensation, our Lowe’s workers’ compensation claims attorneys in Atlanta build an evidence collection that proves the legal elements of negligence: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages.
Your case file may include photos, video, official reports, and witness statements. The types of damages you can recover include:
- Lost wages not covered by workers’ comp
- Property damage
- Disabling injuries
- Disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death damages, if applicable
The evidence we collect can also include bills, receipts, and invoices that prove the value of your compensation request.
You Could Have as Little as Two Years to File Your Third-Party Lawsuit
Third-party lawsuits have a state-imposed statute of limitations that defines how much time you have to file. According to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you generally have:
- Two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit
- Two years from the date of death to file your wrongful death lawsuit
If you do not file your lawsuit on time, you risk being unable to file it at all. We can help you avoid that costly outcome. Bader Scott can file your lawsuit on time and with the appropriate court. We also handle all the forms that accompany the filing of your lawsuit.
