Timothy M. Klob Attorney
Experienced and Compassionate Advocate for Georgia's Injured Workers
GEORGIA work injury lawyer
Advocate
- When you are injured on the job, the deck is stacked against you from the start. In most situations, you're up against an insurance company with endless resources and employees who already know the system inside and out.
- I always remind my clients that the insurance company is not their friend. Just like dealing with the IRS when it comes to paying your taxes, or in dealing with any bank or large corporation, the insurance company is not in the business of losing money. The insurer will not pay you anything more than the bare minimum required by law without someone to help you hold them accountable.
- I view my role as an advocate as a means of living out my faith, and as a means to do justice and to stand up for the powerless. Representing injured workers is both an honor and an incredible responsibility, and being able to advocate for another is one of the most meaningful roles in my life.
- Only an experienced advocate can help level the playing field for you and give you a fighting chance to get the financial benefits and medical treatment you deserve. Even if you ultimately do not hire me, you need to hire someone and should never go it alone.
Educator
- Understanding your rights under workers' compensation is half the battle. The saying that "knowledge is power" is particularly true when you are fighting against an insurance company. Having an experienced attorney to ensure you make the best decisions possible can make or break your case.
- Many times, I hear from potential clients that they have not been told by the insurer or their employer how the workers' compensation system works and what their rights and responsibilities are. Many of my clients hire me because they feel pressured by the insurance company to make decisions without complete information.
- My goal is to educate and inform my clients so that they can make the best possible decisions about their case. I take this role seriously and will ensure you are fully informed, that your questions are answered, and that you have the necessary information to make fully-informed decisions at every step of the way.
Coach
- As your attorney, I will be to guide you every step of the way through the complex workers' compensation claims process. Dealing with a life changing work injury affects every area of your life - your work, your health, your finances, your family, your relationships, and your future.
- My role here is to serve both an advocate and as a coach to ensure that you know what to expect at each step of the process so we can work together to get you the best possible outcome. On a personal level, my desire is to treat you the same way I would want a member of my family to be treated.
- I tell my clients that it is impossible to make objective and impartial decisions about your case without your emotions getting in the way, because your injury impacts every area of your life. I also share with them that I would seek to hire an attorney if I were to sustain a work injury, or if a family member were injured in any way, because I would not be able to separate my emotions from my ability to advocate impartially.
- My ultimate goal as your attorney is to help carry your burdens and to take the stress off your shoulders as possible during one of the most difficult times in your life.
