At the Law Offices of Gary Bruce, we are the good guys who can ensure your workers' compensation claim is handled effectively.
The Law Offices of Gary Bruce offers complimentary in-office and off-site case evaluations to discuss your work injury.

We will talk to you about how you were injured, the history of your relationship with your employer, and how we can best serve you. Schedule your free initial consultation by calling 706-596-1446. You may also contact us online and someone will be in touch with you promptly.
Time deadlines are important. We can help you meet these deadlines.
Many injured workers who are successful in obtaining the benefits they deserve owe this success to the timeliness of their actions. Our experienced attorneys can guide you through every step of the process, ensure paperwork is handled properly and handle your claim in a timely manner. For example, your employer must be notified in writing of your accident within thirty days. If you do not do this, you may lose your benefits or face enhanced difficulties in obtaining benefits.
Our firm represents injured workers from many types of occupations. We represent construction workers, health care workers, laborers, plant workers, office workers and others who have sustained injury or occupational disease. Injuries can include the following:
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Head and neck injuries
- Broken bones
- Amputation
- Burns
We also represent families that have lost loved ones in fatal accidents at work. We can ensure you receive the survivor's benefits to which you are entitled.
The workers' compensation system is complex. While many attempt to handle claims on their own, many more achieve success when they engage an attorney in their claim. Our firm has the resources that are needed to address these complexities and protect your rights.
