Cardiac injuries happen all the time in the workplace. Physical exertion, environmental factors, history of heart disease, dehydration, and stress can all play a part in the cause of work-related heart injuries. The types of injuries can range from heart attacks (myocardial infarction), complications due to an aggravation of an underlying cardiomyopathy, strokes, transient ischemic attacks, and angina pectoris. Proving cardiac injuries is very difficult under the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act. If you or a loved one has experienced a heart injury on the job, you need legal representation from an experienced workers' compensation attorney who has handled serious cardiac injuries.
Prior to opening his own firm, Mr. Hawkins defended UPS in cardiac injuries, and he has the knowledge and experience to ensure your rights are protected under the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act. Tragically, the employee who experiences a cardiac injury on the job often passes away. In those cases, Mr. Hawkins fights to ensure the employee's loved ones are financially provided for and the burial expenses are covered by the insurance company. Call Bryan Hawkins today to discuss your case. There is no obligation and the initial consultation is always free and confidential.
