Many workplace accidents occur because a third party, such as a contractor or equipment driver, committed a negligent act. When this occurs, you have the right to sue the third party and receive compensation. Most third-party companies have an attorney ready to handle these issues. They will often give you an initial offer that is tempting but far from adequate.
If this is your first time dealing with workers’ compensation and third-party claims, how would you know how much compensation you deserve? Call us: 478-254-5040
The Clark & Smith attorneys have a clear, legal understanding of workers’ compensation claims and how much compensation you deserve for your injury. We consider different factors such as the injury itself, present and future medical bills, loss of income due to missing work, emotional damage, and more.

There are certain things you should and shouldn’t do after you suffer a workplace injury. If you’ve been hurt on the job, follow these tips:
- Seek medical help immediately.
- Inform your boss of your injury.
- Keep a record of bills that are associated with the injury.
- If possible, get everything in writing when the third party contacts you.
- Don’t sign anything from the responsible party before talking to your attorney.
- Contact the Clark & Smith attorneys to help guide you through this important journey.
The last thing you want to happen is accept compensation that is far below what you deserve. The money you receive should be enough to pay your bills, provide for your family, cover medical bills, and more. You do not have to journey through your recovery alone; we can and want to help you with your legal needs.
