Canton Workers' Compensation & Personal Injury Lawyer

Are You Seeking a Fair Claim Settlement for Your Injury?

All it takes is a moment for a person's life to be drastically changed. A wrong turn while a person is driving, a slip and fall at work or a heavy item falling off a shelf at the store—all of these events happen in the span of a few seconds, yet they can potentially lead to very serious injuries that require weeks, months or even years of medical treatment. When individuals receive work-related injuries, they can sometimes be so physically impaired that they must find completely different lines of work. It is important to understand which types of financial compensation you are entitled to, whether that is workers' compensation benefits or a personal injury settlement. Injury victims sometimes hit roadblocks when trying to obtain this compensation, whether that is due to an employer denying the validity of a workers' comp claim or an insurance company offering a settlement that is just too low to cover the costs of an injury.

About Canton, Georgia

Canton is a city in northwest Georgia that has 23,380 residents, according to 2011 census estimates. The city is the county seat of Cherokee County, an area that was once the heartland of the Cherokee Nation. The city was incorporated in 1832, originally founded by individuals who hoped to make the area a major center for silk production. (The city was named after a Chinese capital for silk production.) While Canton did not become known for its silk, it did become known worldwide for its "Canton Denim," a product that came from Canton Cotton Mills, which eventually closed. In recent years, the city has been experiencing a good amount of population growth, encouraging further city development.
