Tommy Goddard has 40 years of experience representing injured employees and forcing the employers and insurers to be responsible for medical expenses and wage replacement benefits. 

When you have been injured on the job, you should only have to worry about getting well, but in many cases, you are forced to deal with the financial impact of your inability to work and your employer’s refusal to properly pay income benefits you are owed for the loss of your wages. Unfortunately, many employers and their insurers have now adopted the strategy that they are going to deny all aspects of an injured worker’s claim to either cause the employee to give up on their claims or be forced to settle their claim for much less than they are entitled due to their lack of weekly income. The Goddard Firm understands the Georgia Workers’ Compensation system and how to make it work in your favor. They have the experience to advise you as to whether it is in your best interest to settle your case or to proceed to trial to gain the medical and income benefits you deserve and need to prevent the hardships that can come from a loss of income.

In Georgia Worker’s Compensation cases, “negligence” is not a factor. All an injured worker has to do is prove that they were injured in the “course and scope” of their employment and are entitled to benefits.
