Commercial and Professional Drivers and Job-Related Injuries
When jobs require employees to be on the road—whether on a permanent or temporary basis—there is a risk that those employees will be involved in car or other motor vehicle accidents that result in significant injuries. If you have been injured in a car, truck or other accident while on the job, you are likely to have many questions about your rights, about who is liable for the accident and about how you can obtain benefits to help you pay for medical treatment.
At the Barnett Law Firm, in Decatur, Georgia, we can provide answers to your questions and can help guide you through the process of obtaining workers' compensation benefits after an auto accident. In some cases, you may have both a workers' compensation claim and a claim against the driver of the other vehicle. We will help you understand your rights and file your workers' comp claim, while providing a referral to an auto accident lawyer to pursue a third party claim if it is applicable.

In every case we take at the Barnett Law Firm, our goal is to help you recover the greatest amount of benefits possible, so that you can get the medical treatment you need for a complete physical recovery.
