Back injuries are among the most serious and common workers’ compensation injuries. Heavy lifting, standing on your feet all day, driving long distances and trauma all can cause or contribute to an underlying back injury.
Often, as people age, the spine begins to degenerate, leaving it susceptible to injury. However, even the youngest worker in the most sedentary job can sustain a back injury while working. The Law Office of Bryan S. Hawkins represents injured workers throughout Georgia who have sustained back injuries.
We offer free initial consultations. To schedule yours, please call our Augusta office at 706-305-1130 or send us an email.

Experienced Georgia Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
Finding a qualified Georgia workers’ compensation lawyer who understands these types of cases is important. Our law firm works with your current doctor to ensure appropriate tests and treatment are conducted. Additionally, we are able to use the Georgia Workers’ Compensation Act to get you second opinions and the medical treatment you deserve.
We do not advocate doctor shopping.
