Workplace injuries can disrupt every aspect of life — from your ability to work and earn income to your long-term health and wellbeing. When an injury occurs on the job, understanding your legal options is essential. Jeremy Pineres Law represents injured workers throughout Fulton and DeKalb counties and helps them pursue the full compensation available under Georgia law.
All cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. No upfront costs, and no fee unless compensation is recovered.
Types of Workplace Injury Claims
Workplace injuries occur across all industries — from construction sites and warehouses to offices and retail environments. Common claims involve falls from heights, equipment and machinery accidents, forklift incidents, chemical or toxic exposure, repetitive stress injuries, and injuries caused by a third party on the worksite. Jeremy Pineres Law evaluates each case to determine all available paths to compensation, including workers’ compensation claims and third-party personal injury claims where another party’s negligence contributed to the injury.

Workers’ Compensation vs. Third-Party Claims
Most workplace injuries involve workers’ compensation, which provides benefits regardless of fault but limits what you can recover. However, if a third party — such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner — contributed to the injury, a separate personal injury claim may also be available. Third-party claims can recover damages not available through workers’ compensation, including pain and suffering and full lost wage recovery. Jeremy Pineres Law identifies all viable claims and pursues maximum recovery.
Injuries and Compensation
Workplace injuries can include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, burns, amputations, and occupational diseases. The financial impact often extends well beyond immediate medical costs to include ongoing treatment, lost earning capacity, and long-term disability. Jeremy Pineres Law works to ensure all available compensation is pursued.
Workplace Injury Risks in Atlanta
Atlanta’s diverse economy — spanning construction, logistics, healthcare, and hospitality — means workplace injuries occur across a wide range of industries. Construction sites along the rapidly developing Midtown and Beltline corridors and distribution operations near the airport are among the higher-risk workplaces in the metro. Jeremy Pineres Law represents injured workers throughout Fulton and DeKalb counties.
