Trying the Case

Workers' Compensation Litigation Attorneys

If your problem with workers' compensation cannot be resolved in a hearing or an appeal within the workers' comp system, don't give up. You do not have to take "no" for an answer.

With an attorney from J. Franklin Burns, P.C. on your side, you still have options. Because our attorneys are skilled trial lawyers, we can take your case to court, where we have enjoyed great success.

Over the past 20 years our lead attorney, J. Franklin Burns, has argued innumerable workman's comp cases in trials and appeals all the way up to the Georgia Supreme Court. Because we have extensive experience in workers' comp litigation, we are able to analyze the results of a trial decision and determine whether or not we have grounds for an appeal to the Appellate Division of the Superior Court. If we believe the Superior Court's decision is in error, we can appeal your case to the Court of Appeals and then to the Georgia Supreme Court, if necessary.

One of the keys to our success in workers' compensation litigation is our knowledge of the opposition and their strategies. For 15 years, Attorney Burns was an insurance company lawyer who defended against workers' claims for benefits. We use this inside knowledge to help achieve our clients' goals.

Nearly any type of workers' compensation issue can result in litigation. There may be disagreement over the extent of your injury, your ability to return to work, or whether you are eligible for compensation. The insurance companies have teams of lawyers on their side who will fight to avoid paying benefits to injured workers. Shouldn't you have a skilled attorney who will fight for your rights?

At our law firm, we are dedicated to helping injured workers receive the full amount of workers' comp benefits they deserve − even if that means going to court. In many cases we have been successful in getting our clients' attorney fees paid by the opposition.
