$75,000 Workers’ Comp Settlement for Injured Georgia Worker

Justice Secured: $75,000 Workers’ Compensation Settlement for Injured Georgia Worker

At The Van Dora Law Firm, LLC, we believe every injured worker deserves full and fair compensation for the harm they have suffered. Recently, Attorney Tash M.A. Van Dora achieved a $75,000 settlement for a Georgia employee whose serious shoulder injury was initially minimized by the employer and insurance company.

Case Background

Our client sustained a significant shoulder injury while on the job, including a torn rotator cuff and a torn biceps tendon. Despite the severity of these injuries, the employer and insurer accepted the claim as medical only, refusing to provide the income benefits that the worker was entitled to receive under Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws.

To make matters worse, the employee was initially sent only for x-rays and was told he could return to full-duty work. This decision did not reflect his true medical condition. Unable to work and left without financial support, the injured employee turned to The Van Dora Law Firm for help.

How Attorney Tash M.A. Van Dora Made a Difference

Once our firm was retained, Attorney Tash Van Dora immediately began fighting for the client’s rights. Through persistent advocacy and legal action, he arranged for the worker to be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon provided the correct diagnosis: a torn rotator cuff and a torn biceps tendon.

With the true extent of the injury confirmed, Attorney Van Dora guided the case to mediation. His skillful negotiation secured a $75,000 settlement, providing our client with the financial stability and peace of mind needed to move forward after months of pain and uncertainty.
