George & Wallach, LLLP represented me in a challenging Workers' Compensation claim. My physician had released me to "full duty," and my employer had terminated me almost immediately afterward. I was left with no job and no workers' compensation checks. Soon after that, the same physician reinstated the lifting and climbing restrictions, but the Workers' Compensation insurer would not reinstate benefits.
Alex Wallach accepted my case and immediately began working on it. He discovered an irregularity in the appointment of my physician as I had been deprived of a choice from the panel of physicians. Because the Employer and Insurer had not followed the law, Mr. Wallach was able to obtain a new doctor for me-one who was interested in my well-being and not just doing what my employer directed him to do. The new doctor made it clear that I could not work and my weekly checks were reinstated.
After a number of years of treatment, I had still not improved to the point where I could work in the sort of job I had always done. I did not know what the future would hold for me. Because of that situation, Mr. Wallach also successfully represented me in my Social Security Disability case, resulting in an award of Social Security Disability and Medicare.
Once it was clear that I would have future medical care and income even when my workers compensation case was over, we entered into settlement negotiations in my workers compensation case. Mr. Wallach successfully negotiated a very fair settlement, including a substantial Medical Set Aside (MSA) designed to take care of the future medical needs that will result from my work accident.
I cannot overstate my satisfaction with the representation provided by George & Wallach, LLLP. Mr. Wallach knows the ins and outs of the Georgia Workers' Compensation law and its interaction with Social Security Disability and Medicare. The firm made me feel well-represented and cared about. I could not have found better legal representation than the firm of George & Wallach, LLLP
