At The Mabrey Firm, we specialize in personal injury and medical malpractice cases across Georgia, and we’re here to guide you through every step of the process.

1. Initial Consultation

The first step in investigating your workers’ compensation claim is to schedule a consultation with a qualified attorney. At The Mabrey Firm, located in Atlanta, GA, our experienced team will review the details of your case and assess the validity of your claim. We’ll gather information about the incident, including medical records, witness statements, and any other relevant documentation. You can reach us at (404) 841-4991 to discuss your situation.

2. Gathering Evidence

Once you’ve engaged our services, we will begin collecting evidence to support your claim. This may include:

• Medical Records: Documentation of your injuries and treatments will be crucial in proving your case.
• Witness Statements: If there were any witnesses to the accident, their testimonies can strengthen your claim.
• Employer Reports: We will review any incident reports or documentation provided by your employer regarding the injury.

3. Communicating with Insurance Companies

The next step involves communicating with your employer’s insurance company. It’s essential to approach these conversations with caution, as insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. Our team at The Mabrey Firm has secured millions in compensation for our clients and understands how to navigate these negotiations effectively. We’ll handle all communications with the insurance company, ensuring your rights are protected throughout the process.

4. Reviewing the Claim

After gathering evidence and submitting your claim, the insurance company will conduct its investigation. This process may involve interviewing you, medical professionals, and other witnesses. The length of this investigation can vary, but having a skilled attorney on your side can help expedite the process and ensure that all relevant information is considered.

5. What Happens Next?

Once the investigation is complete, the insurance company will make a determination regarding your claim. If approved, you’ll receive compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs. If your claim is denied, don’t lose hope; you have the right to appeal the decision. Our experienced attorneys at The Mabrey Firm can guide you through this process and help you understand your options.
