Atlanta Wrongful Death Lawyer
At a moment’s notice, the life of a loved one may be extinguished under horrific circumstances due to the fault of others. Between hectic traffic, new construction projects, and all manner of social activity, we all subject ourselves to the risk associated with any interaction in today’s world. Thus, it is crucial to understand the responsibilities of others and hold them accountable when their mistakes result in the death of another.
Catastrophic Injury Lawyers
A catastrophic injury is a serious or extreme injury or illness that impacts a victim in a considerable way and requires significant medical treatment. While many catastrophic injuries are permanent, that is not always the case, as some will improve. Serious injuries like this often require ongoing or multiple medical treatments or changes to support lifespan and quality.

Workers’ Compensation
If you’ve been injured on the job, you have benefits and workers’ compensation you’ve earned. But the system doesn’t make it easy to get what you’ve worked hard for during this frustrating time. Workers’ Compensation in Atlanta can be confusing and unfair. Mistakes made at the beginning of a workers’ comp case can affect your case years later.
There is an endless number of rules that can trip you up along the way. Worse, your employer and the insurance adjustor have no obligation to tell you the rules.
Many workers try to go it alone, but somewhere along the way, something goes wrong and they have to contact a workers’ compensation lawyer for advice. That’s why (ideally) you should hire a workers’ compensation lawyer at the beginning of your case.
We have helped many clients deal with all aspects of U.S. immigration, including the following:

Testimonials
What our Clients say
Joel Thrift is truly a prince among attorneys, a real good guy defending the rights of his clients. He undertook an appeal for a denial I had received in connection with a survivors pension from FERS I had initiated for my disabled brother. Not his usual thing, but he went ahead anyway. His careful prep and writing skill produced a brief that the opposition read before the presentation.
I couldn’t have asked for a smoother situation. Joel and his staff, Iryna took care of everything for me from the beginning through the whole process and fought for me till the end. After many years of being denied, they brought the truth to the judge and answered all my unknown questions about the process and benefits. You’re in good hands with Joel and his company’s professionalism and sincerity – Thank You – G-D Bless
Can’t say enough about Joel and his staff. It took some time but Joel took this time to ensure everything was filled out accurately as it would only be delayed if filled out incorrectly. He’s an intelligent, affable, and pragmatic individual. I would highly recommend him for SSDI claims.
The associates at joell thrift were instrumental in helping me obtain my disability status and payment I coul not have achieved without them acting on my behalf fully satisfied! Thanks to Joel thrift for all you did for me
I couldn’t have picked a better firm to handle my case even though it took some time but it was worth it in the end thanks to Joel Thrift and his team I would definitely recommend
