    As nationally recognized legal experts, Georgia workers’ compensation attorneys Ben Gerber and Tom Holder travel all over to consult in the most challenging and complex work injury cases. But they call Athens and Atlanta home.

    In recent decades, Athens has grown from a small, sleepy southern town into a bustling metropolis, with a city and surrounding population of more than 125,000 people. In fact, the population of Athens doubled between 1990 and 2000, jumping from 45,000 to more than 100,000 in just 10 years.


    As Athens has grown, so has the need for hardworking residents to fully understand their legal rights when it comes to workers’ compensation in the event of a work-related accident, injury or illness.

    Georgia workers’ compensation laws are complicated, which is why it’s best to have an attorney fighting on your side for your deserved recompense. Delay can only mean more hassle, so contact Gerber & Holder Workers’ Compensation Attorneys today for your free sit-down to talk about your case.

    He got it done
    “Ben got me the medical treatment I needed when the insurance company didn’t want to let me see a doctor, even though I needed knee surgery. He got it done. I recommend Ben Gerber and Associates to anyone with a workman’s comp issue.”

    “My experience with Benjamin Gerber was amazing from the first day. He is very knowledgeable and was very patient with me. Amazing attorney!!!! He is a Bulldog!!!”

    Friendly, honest, professional
    “Ben is friendly, honest, professional. After being injured at work, my former employer played some games with my paycheck and health coverage; I never would have known they weren’t allowed to do that without Ben. He recovered money owed, had my coverage reinstated, and insisted they pay a penalty.”

    How to file a workers’ comp claim in Athens

    If you were injured while on the job in Athens or elsewhere in Georgia, it’s important to act immediately. First, seek medical attention and notify your supervisor or manager. If you wait too long to file a workers’ compensation claim, insurance companies may view your injury and claim as illegitimate.

    When you file a formal workers’ compensation claim, it will require you to include details about your injury and situation—including the location of the injury, how the injury occurred, date and time, and potential witnesses. Be sure to attend all follow-up medical appointments.
