Working Hard for Georgia's Injured WorkersWorking Hard for Georgia's Injured Workers
If you have been injured at work in Georgia, Help Begins Here.
Your employer does not fully understand workers' comp and they cannot provide you all of the information you need to make good decisions after an injury. Most companies are more concerned about their insurance premiums increasing than your injury. There are even some companies that systematically ignore employees reporting injuries.
Your problems do not stop there. Even after your claim has been opened, the insurance company will take over, and they are often less trustworthy than your employer. Insurance will frequently deny medical procedures and look for reasons to avoid paying you for your lost earnings.
Of course, even if you receive some basic relief from workers' compensation, you may find that your company treats you like a second class citizen after your injury. Does it seem like they are looking for a reason to fire you?
These situations happen everyday in Georgia.

I have mediated many workers' comp claims for Nathan. He has always been ethical, a viligant defender of the rights of his client, and knowledgeable. He doesn't shirk from a challenge. You are doing yourself a disservice if you are injured at work and don't at least consult with Nathan.
Aaron Marks, Workers compensation Attorney on Jan 19, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Nathan Woody is the rare attorney who will work with clients, and look into matters, that do not directly benefit him. When I've contacted Nathan about a potential Worker's Compensation claim Nathan's first priority, always, is to investigate how he can help the potential client. In short, Nathan puts his clients' interests above his own. That is a rare quality to have, and it serves his clients extremely well. I highly endorse this lawyer.
Jeremiah Van Dora, Workers compensation Attorney on Jul 13, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Extremely competent and reasonable. Works hard to get the best result for his clients. I endorse this lawyer.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Nathan is extremely knowledgeable in this area of the law. I have referred cases to him and will continue to do so. Every referral has told me how happy they are to have worked with Nathan. If you have a workers compensation issue, I encourage you to give him a call.
James McRae, Workers compensation Attorney on Sep 19, 2013

Judy Croy, Workers compensation Attorney on Jan 1, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Nathan is an excellent attorney. Having worked for insurers as well as injured claimants gives him an insight and perspective on the behind the scenes workings of the system that other attorneys just don't have. He would be a great choice for an injured worker.
Charles Hamilton, Workers compensation Attorney on Nov 9, 2012
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I've had a number of cases involving Nathan as counsel. He knows the law and how to use it to get results.
Charles McAleer, Workers compensation Attorney on Nov 9, 2012

Nathan is an excellent lawyer in his field and I can highly recommend him.
Michael Waddington, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 16, 2012
