April 2013 - Powers Law Group

Workers Compensation Testimonial by Linda G.

I heard about Powers Law Group from a close friend of mine in Ashburn, Georgia. I had worked for the same factory for over 23 years. In 2006, I was at work and walking to the bathroom when I fell down and severely injured my knee. I had surgery with Dr. Barber and he said there was nothing more he could do for me, even though my knee still hurt. That’s when I decided to get Jeff Powers to help me.

Mr. Powers and his team helped me understand the workers comp process. My employer never explained that I could change doctors and see somebody else. My lawyer filed for Catastrophic designation and I had to fight my employer. I am so happy with the final result Powers Law Group got for me. They helped me get an excellent settlement and also a Medicare Set Aside account to pay for my doctor bills for the rest of my life.

Q&A: Lost Job Due to Injury in Georgia

Question:

Injured my hand on a machine. I was send to the doctor and was told I had fractured my knuckle. Almost four weeks later I did a follow up and was told there was no fracture to begin with. I was released to go back to work. Then I was called from work and told not to return because they had filled my position.

Answer:

You can request to see another doctor on the employer’s panel of physicians even if you are fired from that job. If the employer has less than 6 different doctors on the list, you can select any doctor you want to treat with. Unfortunately in Georgia, the employer can terminate you for any reason or for no reason since we are an “at will” state. ~ Atty. Jeff Powers

Work Injury Testimonial by Sonny

Jeff and his entire staff were wonderful during a very difficult and trying time in my life. After working for a company for nearly 29 years I was injured on the job. I never knew there would be so much involved in getting the medical care and benefits I needed. Jeff and Adam guided me throughout the entire process. This took many surgeries over several years. They never failed to answer any question or act on any problem. They always had my back. Jeff and the entire staff helped me get through a bad time in my life.
I felt like we were family by the time it ended. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for great representation.
