WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND PERSONAL INJURY FIRM
WE ALWAYS FIGHT FOR
THE
BIGGEST
INJURY
SETTLEMENTS
When you need to hire an accident lawyer, experience matters. We are proud of the payouts we have been able to get for the members of our community. We have recovered over $35 million from insurance companies in personal injury cases and workers' compensation claims.
We intentionally take fewer cases than other firms do. We can devote more resources to each case because we are selective about the cases we take. There is no set formula to determine how much cases are “worth”. We believe that getting the maximum value for your case depends on outworking the insurance company. That is exactly what we do.
Our law firm is for people who are seriously hurt in Georgia due to someone else's fault or a workplace accident. Bourne Law Firm is only accepting new clients who have a serious injury. We consider a serious injury to be a broken bone, a ligament or tendon tear, surgery, a brain injury, herniated disc, a permanent and significant scar or burn, another serious injury, or death.
We are a top-rated injury law firm. We have a reputation for getting big payouts for our clients after a serious injury. Contact us for a free consultation to find out what your case is really worth.
Some firms employ case managers or clerks to screen their calls. Not us. We talk directly to our clients and prepare every case like it will go to trial.
We are an injury law firm that is focused on getting complete and fair compensation after an accident. We are a local, family-owned law firm. For over 30 years, our personal injury attorneys have helped injury victims who have been in workplace accidents and car accidents, as well as surviving family members who have lost a loved one.

$125k Settlement
In this case, our client was rear-ended by a driver who was not paying attention to the
road.
The crash caused a knee injury (meniscus tear). The at-fault
driver only had 25k in insurance, but we got our client a 125k payout.
Most importantly, our client was thrilled with the result!
When you hire us, you get us.
The biggest complaint we hear about other attorney's is that they do not return client phone calls. Some other injury lawyers use case managers and paralegals to handle cases because they are too busy. Not Us. You will have your attorney's cell phone number and you will be able to talk with us about your case. We will always return your phone calls.
Workers' compensation is one of our firm's primary areas. 50 percent of the cases we handle involve workplace injuries. Other lawyers refer workers' compensation cases to us because of our extensive experience in this area. Our attorneys are asked to speak at legal seminars to teach other lawyers about workers' compensation law.
Workers' compensation cases are unlike other types of personal injuries. In workers' compensation, there are special rules about when you may be entitled to benefits. Not all attorneys are familiar with workers' compensation law. Robert Bourne has been handling workers' compensation cases for over three decades. Our expereince in this area allows us to get the maximum value for your workers' compensation cases.
Not every case needs a workers' compensation lawyer. For example, if you just need to get stiches for a cut at work, then you do not need a lawyer. You usually want to consult a lawyer when you have the type of injury that will require prolonged medcial care or lost time from work. Getting all of the workers' compensation benefits you might be entitled to is not easy. In Georgia, workers' comp insurance companies do not have a duty to act in "good faith". There are precise rules in workers comp cases about when benefits are due, when you have to notify a supervisor of the injury, how long you are entitled to medical treatment, etc. The insurance company will try to use these rules against you to cut off your benefits and limit your cash payments. If you get a free consultation with a lawyer, you might be suprised to learn about the benefits you are entitled to under workers compensation insurance.
You should immediately notify a supervisor about the accident. It is important to seek medical treatment after the injury. You need to ask to see a copy of the "panel of physicians". This is a list of doctors who can treat your workplace injury. If your employer does not have a panel, you may be entitled to choose your own doctor. The doctor you choose is important. Unfortunetly, many of the doctors on the panel can be "company doctors" who are not looking out for your best interests. A lawyer may be able to assist you in selecting the doctor.
