Atlanta Workplace Violence Workers' Compensation Attorney

At Moebes Law, we’ve focused on Georgia workers’ comp for over 20 years. Michael Moebes started his career defending insurers before switching sides to represent injured workers, so we know the playbook the other side runs, and we use it against them. Our whole intake and support team is bilingual (English and Spanish), and someone’s available 24/7.

We’ll explain your rights, tell you straight whether you have a case, and help you get your life back. No cost to talk, and no fee unless we win.

Understanding Violence in the Workplace

Workplace violence is more common than most people think, and it’s not always what you picture. OSHA defines workplace violence as any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening behavior that happens at the worksite. That covers a lot, from a punch thrown on the floor to repeated threats that make it unsafe to do your job.

It can come from just about anyone:

• A customer physically assaulting an employee
• A supervisor, manager, or owner of the company causing harm
• An assault by a contractor, business partner, or even a stranger
• One employee harming another employee
• Domestic violence, where someone targets the worker for reasons unrelated to the job
• Intimidation through physical gestures or words
• Harassment or repeated unwanted contact

Some jobs carry more risk than others. You may be more exposed if you:

• Work in customer service or handle high-stress situations
• Work in the medical field, where emotions run high
• Handle a cash drawer or manage money
• Drive for a living and may encounter road rage
• Work off hours, like a third shift, or in isolated conditions
• Interact with people who may be intoxicated
• Are assigned to a high-crime area or a place with known conflict

The truth is it can happen to anyone, on any shift, when you least expect it. It might be a single incident, or something that builds over time. However it happened to you, what matters now is protecting your health and your paycheck, and that starts with understanding your rights.

Workers’ Comp Benefits for Workplace Violence Victims in Atlanta

A workplace violence claim does two things: it holds the responsible parties accountable, and it helps make you whole after what happened. What you can recover depends on your situation, but it may include:

• Medical care – hospital bills, treatment, and nursing care
• Lost wages – income and work opportunities you missed, including benefits
• Mental health treatment – care for the emotional toll, which is real after an assault
• Physical disfigurement – compensation for scarring and permanent injury
• Pain and suffering – in claims that reach beyond workers’ comp
• Travel costs – mileage and parking for medical appointments

In some cases, punitive damages may also be on the table. These are an added penalty when the conduct was willful, wanton, and intentional; an unprovoked assault can qualify. Every case is different, and the only way to know what yours is worth is to have someone review the details with you.
