In this episode of “Justice at Work”, Partner Kathy Harrington-Sullivan interviews Laura Reis of ReisLaw, LLC about workers’ compensation laws in Georgia and how they impact employees. Laura Reis has dedicated her law practice to representing injured workers since 2003. In the past 15 years, Laura has resolved thousands of workers’ compensation claims through trial or settlement and procured millions of dollars for her clients. During her discussion with Kathy, Laura provides some great insight for workers who have been injured on the job.

The questions she will answer include:

  • What exactly is workers comp and how is it different from other injury claims like a car accident?
  • What do I need to do if I am injured at work?
  • What do I do about medical treatment? Lost wages?
  • Should I hire an attorney for this?
  • What am I owed if I’m injured at work?
  • Will I have to go to court?
  • Can I sue my employer if they did something wrong?
  • This process seems complicated. How do I figure out what to do?

Kathy and Laura will cut through the red tape and make workers’ compensation much easier for you to understand.

Doug joined the Warshauer Law Group over seven years ago after working at an insurance defense firm. This experience gave him an important understanding and familiarity with insurance companies and corporations and how they approach lawsuits involving serious personal injuries.  Although Doug enjoyed the attorneys he worked with at his prior firm, he realized that his calling was join a team of Georgia personal injury lawyers representing individuals and their families. Fortunately he was given the opportunity to work with lawyers like Michael and Lyle Warshauer who have dedicated their professional careers and much of their personal lives defending those wrongfully injured and their families. As a member of our team of  Atlanta personal injury attorneys, Doug works every day to plan, strategize, and prepare cases to secure the best compensation for individuals and families who are injured as the result of the carelessness of others. He now feels his successes truly make a difference and improve people’s lives, which is very rewarding.

Like the other attorneys at the Warshauer Law Group, Doug strives to be the best both inside and outside the courtroom. He graduated from the University of Georgia in 1998 with a degree in Political Science and then received his Juris Doctor degree, cum laude, from the University of Georgia School of Law. He has successfully argued motions for clients in state, federal, and appellate courts throughout the state of Georgia. In fact, Doug’s appellate record is unbeaten.

Doug has been lead counsel in several jury trials, including a disputed liability snow skiing incident he won in Forsyth County last year.  Doug and Michael also won a $20,000,000 verdict in Federal Court in 2012.

When Doug is away from the office, he enjoys spending most of his time with his wife and three children going to soccer, swim team, vacations, or just hanging around the house.
