Marietta Work Accident Lawyers

Work with a Proven Law Firm Serving Cobb County, GA

Work accidents are an unfortunate reality for employees across all industries. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), private industry employers reported more than 2.5 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2023. 

While some industries, such as construction and manufacturing, are known for higher injury rates due to the inherent dangers of the work environment, accidents can happen in virtually any occupational setting. For example, office and retail employees may experience slips and falls due to unsafe conditions. 

Most work injuries are compensated through Georgia workers’ compensation, which provides medical, income, and rehabilitation benefits. However, a personal injury claim may be pursued in some cases, which can provide additional benefits. 

At Reed Leeper, P.C., our personal injury team provides effective legal representation in claims involving negligent third parties.

How Personal Injury Law Relates to Marietta Work Accidents

Georgia law allows employees injured on the job to pursue a personal injury claim when a third party is responsible for the accident. While workers' compensation provides medical expenses and partial wage replacement benefits, it does not cover pain, suffering, or other non-economic damages. 

Personal injury claims can complement workers' comp by targeting liable third parties, such as contractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners, who contributed to your injury through negligence or misconduct.

Examples of these third-party claims include the following scenarios.
