Georgia Law Blog

The purpose of this blog is to provide information to the public and to serve as an information source for other attorneys, especially non-workers' compensation lawyers.  I find there is far too much bad information floating around out there.  As a Georgia workers' compensation attorney, I have confronted just about every conceivable question and concern from my clients.  Probably the most common fear expressed by my clients when they are injured is confusion.  Much of the confusion arises from the fact that workers' compensation has many pitfalls and nuisances. 

There are not a lot of attorneys that practice in the area.  The State Bar of Georgia currently lists 953 lawyers who are members of the Workers' Compensation Section.  I would estimate that of the 953, about 500 practice a great deal of workers' compensation law.   Keep in mind that the last time I checked, there were over 20,000 attorneys licensed to practice law in Georgia.  That translates to about 1 in 40 lawyers.

The current Census figures tell us the population of Georgia is just over 9,000,000.  That translates to about 1 workers' compensation attorney for every 18,000 people. 

My goal is simply to clear-up the confusion and discuss various issues important to injured workers, their families, and the legal community.
