Our Team Works Hard to Meet All Notification and Filing Deadlines
Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company is responsible for paying your medical bills and partial wage replacement after an on-the-job injury. However, you also have responsibilities, including reporting your injury to your employer and filing your workers’ comp claim promptly.
According to the SBWC, you generally have:
- 30 days to report your injury to your employer
- One year from the date of the injury to file your claim
If your injuries are severe enough, they can prevent you from participating in your injury claim as fully as you would like. Our Alpharetta pre-existing conditions workers’ compensation attorneys can manage your claim for you and help you avoid the potentially costly consequences of non-compliance.

We Fight for Workers’ Comp Benefits By Filing Appeals in Alpharetta
If you previously filed a request that the workers’ comp insurance company denied due to a pre-existing condition, we can help you file an appeal. Our legal team will obtain necessary personal and employment information and supplemental medical evidence.
We will represent you through each appeals phase, including requesting a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). You do not have to accept a denied application without a fight. If the ALJ does not approve your application, we will file an appeal with SBWC’s appellate division.
A Third-Party’s Negligence Could Entitle You to Additional Financial Recovery
A workers’ compensation claim does not require proof of negligence. If our investigation uncovers negligence on the part of someone other than your employer or a co-worker, we can help you file a third-party personal injury claim. This generally involves filing a personal injury lawsuit against a vendor, supplier, contractor, or other party whose negligence caused or contributed to your accident.
Your personal injury attorney can clarify whether you qualify to take legal action following a workplace accident or injury.
