The risk of injury is an unfortunate reality for people who make a living working on farms or who live in agricultural areas. Defective equipment, negligent drivers and other factors can result in catastrophic injuries for workers and innocent bystanders. If you have suffered injuries as a result of a farm-related accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, lost wages and other damages.

Workers' Compensation Is Not Available to Farm Workers in Georgia
Farmers in Georgia are excluded from workers' compensation liability unless they opt into the program. This means that in most cases, a farm worker who gets injured due to an employer's misconduct can make a personal injury claim against his or her employer. While most farm workers do not have the benefit of workers' compensation, they may have the benefit of the traditional recovery for damages under the common law.
No Recovery, No Attorney Fee
Todd takes personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that he does not get paid anything if you do not receive compensation so you can be assured he will work hard to get you everything you are entitled to. For more information, see our Fees page.
