Augusta was first founded as a fort around 1735, two years after the founding of Savannah, Georgia. This historic town is located near the South Carolina/Georgia border, about 150 miles east of Atlanta. Named after Princess Augusta, King George III’s mother, Augusta was the state capitol of Georgia for a decade, from 1785 to 1795. Early on, Augusta became known as a cotton town, with many plantations established in the area.
As of 2019, the population of Augusta (including the city and surrounding Augusta-Richmond County) hovered around 197,000 people. Before counting the county’s population, the population of Augusta had fallen 40% from its 1950 peak of 71,000. By 1990, the population stood at just 44,000. One of the biggest employers in the area is Augusta University, the state’s only health sciences graduate university, which employs roughly 7,000 employees.
Whether you work in education, manufacturing or one of the many agricultural jobs in the area, it’s best to have an attorney fighting on your side. Any delay will mean more hassle for you and your family, so contact Gerber & Holder Attorney At Law today for your free sit-down to talk about your case.

Need to file a workers’ comp claim in Augusta? Here’s how…
If you were injured while on the job in Augusta, it’s important to act immediately. The first task you must complete is seek out medical attention, then notify your manager or supervisor. If you delay 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 the injury, including the location of the accident, how the injury occurred, the date and time, and potential witnesses. You must attend all follow-up medical appointments as failure to do so could impact your workers’ comp benefits moving forward.
The Georgia workers’ compensation system is complex. Especially if it’s your first time filing a work injury claim, you likely have lots of questions. In addition to scheduling a free consultation with our experts, consider reviewing our workers’ comp FAQ page.
