WORKERS COMP ATTORNEY IN HARTWELL AND ATHENS GEORGIA
While working for a conveyor belt manufacturer in Lavonia Georgia, our client severely injured his lower back while attempting to fix a machine that had gotten stuck. The worker was trying to lift a heavy piece of the machine and felt a sudden pop in his lumbar spine and immediately reported it to his supervisor for treatment under the Georgia Workers’ Compensation program.
Our client initially underwent conservative treatment with an orthopedic surgeon in Athens Georgia including low back injections and physical therapy. Once these conservative treatment attempts failed, the client was referred to the spinal surgeon for lumbar spine surgery.
