How to Compel Claimants to Return to Work in Georgia

2008 Georgia Workers' Compensation Summary


All stages of workers’ compensation litigation defense, including hearings, appeals and mediations; recovery from third-party tortfeasors and subsequent- or second-injury funds; interaction of workers’ compensation obligations with compliance under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Family and Medical Leave Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; preventive advice on ways to minimize employer liability.

In much of the employment law world, there is a great divide between "employment lawyers," on the one hand, and workers’ compensation lawyers, on the other. As a result, it’s common for workers’ compensation attorneys to take positions that create problems for employers on other legal fronts – such as ADA or FMLA compliance.

Constangy’s Workers’ Compensation Defense team provides a unified (and therefore unique) approach to these claims. The team attorneys handle all aspects of workers’ compensation defense, including preventive advice that will help your company avoid claims, all stages of workers’ compensation litigation, and recovery of losses from third parties. Their experience extends to cases involving back injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, broken limbs, amputations, deaths, heart attacks and strokes, hernias, hearing losses, and occupational diseases.

But because they are also employment lawyers, they can make sure that your workers’ compensation defense does not adversely affect your company in other areas.

In short, Constangy’s team can provide a comprehensive workers’ compensation defense and provide global strategies to reduce exposure in other areas of liability.

Constangy’s Workers’ Compensation Defense team has represented clients in a wide variety of industries, including the following:
