Do I Need an Attorney?

Yes. An attorney who specializes in workers’ compensation claims can help you navigate the workers’ compensation policies and the insurance companies. Just because your employer is required to provide workers’ compensation benefits doesn’t mean they will automatically provide you with those benefits.

Below are common scenarios injured workers run into with their employers:

The insurance company attempts to limit benefits owed to you
The employer denies “controverting” claims, looking for reasons to deny your claim
You’re feeling pressure to return to work too soon after your injury
Your employer attempts to fire you
You are unable to perform your job as a result of your injury
You have a pre-existing condition that the insurance company is attempting to use as a reason not to pay you the benefits owed

Georgia workers’ compensation lawyers such as Beth Gearhart are here to help and compassionately defend your settlement case. Beth and her team will fight on your behalf to help you receive the maximum amount of settlement benefits you deserve from your injury while working at a Home Depot store.

1

Take care of yourself and receive immediate medical attention if needed

2

Beth Gearhart and paralegal Cynthia were great! They are very quick to respond to any inquiry, very attentive and informative! They kept my case on track and moving forward! They are knowledgeable, professional and efficient, they made a difficult situation much easier to deal with! Gearhart Law is a definite recommendation if you find yourself in an unfortunate WC claim…

Billy M.

Extremely satisfied with the dedication of everyone at this firm. They kept me in the loop with everything every step of the way. They worked hard for my settlement and I couldn’t appreciate them more.

Glynis H.

Thank you to Beth and Cynthia at the Gearhart law group for your diligent work on my case. The professionalism of your practice was really appreciated by me and my family.

Atonja C.

Beth Gearhart is an amazing attorney. She was so helpful and made me understand everything during the process. My case lasted a long time but she made it worth the wait.

Felicia M.

This was by far the best experience I've had with a lawyer to date. I was going through a really stressful experience and having Beth and Cynthia's help really eased my nerves. I couldn't have done anything without them and I'm thankful for what they do

Alexis B.

My family has sought help from Beth Gearhart a few times in the past two years. We were amazed by her warm human approach. She went not only an extra mile, but she went above and beyond in helping us. In our time of distress, she gave us insightful and valuable legal advice. We can recommend Beth to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly trustworthy attorney.

Tonya S.

My injury was very painful at the beginning and my mobility was very limited. From my educational background, I knew that the injury could possibly develop into a serious injury and I will admit, I was scared. Beth and her staff were excellent and having them in my circle provided much emotional and physical relief. They took excellent care of me with their knowledge and genuine concern for my health. Their care removed a lot of worries so that I could recover.

Katy W.

I highly recommend Beth for your worker’s compensation needs. She is very prompt with communication by phone and emails. She will help you thru the whole process making sure you get the treatment and settlement that you deserve. I felt like my hands were tied for months until I reached out to Gearhart Law Group. Best decision I made thru this whole process.

Pam N.

I spoke to many lawyers before I found Beth Gearhart. They all were only concerned about how much money they could make off me. They didn't care how I was doing or if I was receiving the proper medical care. When I first spoke to Beth she was more concerned about how I was doing and if I was receiving the proper medical care. Beth was with me from the beginning to the end when my case was settled. She always took my calls and was never too busy to talk with me when I had a concern about my case, my medical treatments or just to answer a question or concern I had. She is truly a very nice, compassionate and caring lawyer! Thanks Beth for taking the stress off me and letting me just concentrate on getting better! If you want a lawyer that cares and will fight for you then it's Beth Gearhart!

Karen R.

Beth and her paralegal, Kristi Woodall, were amazing. Of course the worker’s comp people tried to make it difficult for me to receive quality care, but as soon as I hired this team, they promptly got to work on getting me the best doctors, a prompt surgery appointment, and the best physical therapists. They even sent flowers and well wishes right before my surgery. Beth and Kristi were also super personable. I didn’t feel like I was just another paycheck, I felt like they actually cared a lot. If I had questions, one of them would always respond in a timely manor. If I ever needed anything, they were quick about getting those things for me. Everything went very smoothly because of them, and I’m so glad we found Beth and Kristi. Plus, they took a lower than average cut of my settlement. That’s always a plus. I HIGHLY recommend them for representation. I was so stressed about my situation, but they made it so easy. Thank you for everything, ladies. I couldn’t have gotten better without you.

T'Arica C.

I highly recommend Beth Gearhart! She took care of everything for me and has become a great person to have as a friend. Her entire staff does everything they can to help you and educate you on your rights.

Dean D.

Before contacting Beth i spoke with several other that was promise that my case was worth up to a million dollars without seeing my medical records. Then out of nowhere Gearhart Law Group appeared like a sign from God. After speaking with Beth and her telling me that she wouldn't tell me my case was worth a million until see looked at my medical records. Once my case was at the point of starting the settlement part she was straight forward with me. Thank you Beth Gearhart and Kristie Woodall all that you both did for me through my case. You'll never know what you've done for me and my family.

Billy K.

Highly recommend Beth for WC claims! I was ALWAYS able to talk to her when I called and she responded to my emails very quickly. She was able to get us a very fair amount and did not just tell us what we wanted to hear, she was very honest! Would have given her 10 stars if possible!

Britney C.

Words can't express how thankful I am for such a superb team! From the very beginning Beth waisted no time, she executed every step of the way. I never had to worry. Gearhart Law Group made me feel like I was there most important priority and not another file you just throw away on the desk. From finding doctors and getting the best treatment possible Khristy, your a trooper thank you so much. Gearhart Law Group the best in GA hands down.!!!

Dominique E.

Awesome Lawyer. Very professional and prompt. Tells it like it is no run around. Highly recommend Beth for your work comp needs.

Nathan Q.

Beth fought for me for nearly 3 years and never gave up. Had some pretty tough competition with the opposing counsel which she handily put them in place and had them do the right thing.

David

Beth was very compassionate throughout our entire process> Beth tried her best to get things finished in a timely manner, she even had to enlist the help of another lawyer.

Jeff

First of all I was impressed that Linda herself spoke with me about my workers compensation case. She got quick results to get my needed surgery approved when my company’s insurance firm kept refusing to do the right thing. Her office kept me informed throughout the whole process and was very responsive to all my inquiries. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a top notch workers compensation attorney.

John

I got in touch with her when I got hurt at work. She helped me right away in getting the most optimal medical care and gave me the much needed support/ help through such a difficult time.

Kelly

She is so caring and prompt. She has been in contact with me every step of the way since I have made my first phone call. It is very obvious that she is truly a compassionate person. She isn't pushy and she doesn't make you feel like she is in for the money. She genuinely cares. All around a great person to have on your side.

Victoria

Workers’ Compensation Lawyer For Home Depot Employees: Frequently Asked Questions

Will Home Depot pay me if I am injured at work?

You might be compensated for your injuries depending on how the injury occurred while at work, among many other factors. Beth Gearhart and her team will fight on your behalf to get you the settlement you are owed.

What happens if I miss work as a result of my injury?

Under OCGA § 34-9-220, you are entitled to weekly wage benefits if you cannot work for at least seven days as a result of your work-related injury. In Georgia, weekly workers’ compensation benefits are calculated as two-thirds of your average weekly salary, which is calculated based upon all the wages you received (including overtime, bonuses, and any other benefits) in the 13 weeks prior to your work-related injury, subject to certain maximums.

Can I visit my private doctor if I am injured as a Home Depot employee?

You will need to visit a doctor listed on the Panel of Physicians at your Home Depot work location. The Panel of Physicians list identifies at least six doctors you can choose from to document your injury. Under Georgia law, your employer is required to have posted the Panel of Physicians and explained it to you.

If your employer has not posted the list publicly and/or never explained it to you, then you might be able to visit a private doctor of your choosing.

Additionally, at least one of the doctors must be an orthopedic surgeon, at least one must be a minority physician, and there must be four other properly qualified physicians.

Beth Gearhart and her team can help with this process.

How much is my claim worth?

The exact amount you are entitled to through the workers’ compensation depends on several factors:

Your weekly income benefits
Any PPD rating
Medical treatment

The above factors have a direct impact on your compensation amount, therefore it’s important to seek the advice of a Georgia workers’ compensation attorney.

Can I get paid for emotional pain and suffering in workers’ compensation?

Unfortunately, workers’ compensation does not cover compensation for emotional pain and suffering, even at a big box store. Workers’ compensation does cover several items including lost wages if you missed work due to your injury and medical expenses.

Why hire a lawyer for workers’ compensation?

Most individuals have difficulty navigating workers’ compensation policies and insurance companies, especially when they are currently dealing with an injury from an incident at their job. Workers’ comp attorneys in Georgia can fight for you and your rights.
