Workers' Comp for Construction Workers
Were You Injured on the Job in Atlanta?
Construction workers have very physically demanding jobs that usually require them to enter into many different potentially dangerous situations.
For example, constructions sites often have:
- Heavy machinery;
- Difficult-to-maneuver vehicles;
- Hazardous materials;
- Exposed electrical wiring; and
- Other potential safety hazards.
Because of these hazards, construction workers are required to obtain special training and wear protective gear so they can keep themselves safe from such threats. Construction site owners and operators are also required to follow certain rules in order to ensure safety. Unfortunately, however, construction accidents can occur no matter how careful a worker might be.

Per OSHA, 17.6% of work-related fatalities occurred in the field of construction in 2011.
The 4 top causes of work-related fatalities in the construction industry:
- Falls

- Painters

"The most humble person I have met in this profession and cares about the overall outcome."I was injured in the apocalypse snow storm of Atlanta in 2014, I never intended or thought I would need an attorney to assist me with all the ongoing paperwork, needed to get me through this long and draining process. In the process I was not only drained of going to therapy 5 days a week 3 hours a day, groggy from pain pills, and really no in my right mind to make good decisions, I wanted this over and done with, but when I felt being pushed into the wrong direction by insurance company, I had no choice but to start my search I logged in on a Saturday and begin emailing attorneys to see if anyone could help me. On a Sunday Mr. Kaleita called we discussed the case not even being a client yet it was an immediate trust and connection, he understood my frustration and since that day I felt he has been a guardian angel to help me in every step of the way. Even when I thought we were completed, he was such a thorough person, he not only checked once but twice and always found something overall I feel he has become my greatest attorney yet, as well as a mutual friend..the most humble person I have met in this profession and cares about the overall outcome. I would recommend him to anyone. No matter what matter you may have he has a resource in the legal field to help you get your answers. Very knowledgeable in his field- Blanca
