Experiencing job loss after a work-related injury is not only frustrating but scary. It seems like everything is coming at you at one time. Plus, no one enjoys dealing with an insurance company!

What is a catastrophic injury under Georgia Law?

Under Georgia law, a catastrophic injury involves severe paralysis of an arm, leg, or trunk due to a spinal cord injury, amputation of an appendage, serious traumatic brain or closed-head injury, significant burns to a large portion of the body, or blindness.

However, any serious may qualify as “catastrophic” if it is so serious that it precludes the employee from ever returning back to work.

At Ramos & Law, our attorneys are experts in Georgia workers' compensation and are here to get you through this scary and life-altering time.

On Workers Memorial Day, we are reminded that is important, especially in industries with higher occupational injury incident rates.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, too many Georgia lives are lost to workplace incidents – with 193 fatalities in 2020. Transportation incidents accounted for 41 percent of fatal injuries, while other common causes of workplace fatalities included falls, slips and trips, and deadly contact with workplace objects and equipment.

We are saddened to hear of an occupational death, and we will work hard to ensure families know their rights under the Georgia workers’ compensation system. The value of a life can never be replaced; however, our legal team will work to lessen the financial burden the worker's dependents face during such a painful time.

From Bryan:
This month marks my 10-year survival anniversary from an almost deadly heart attack. The care and compassion I received from the medical and legal communities is something I will never forget. The lessons and education I learned were even more valuable.

According to the American Heart Association - CPR & First Aid, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. It is also one of the most preventable. Attorneys, in particular, suffer a high rate of stress and burnout. A 2021 survey by The American Lawyer showed 71% said they experienced anxiety during their job.
