About Shaw Industries in Georgia

Shaw Industries, a large carpet manufacturer, is a large company that operates out of Dalton, Georgia. The company manufactures and distributes carpeting, laminate flooring, wood flooring, tile, stone, and resilient flooring. It has more than 22,000 employees around the world, including many of them at its facilities in Georgia. This company, founded in 1946, is a large one that has global sales.

While Shaw Industries may work to keep their employees safe with well-maintained workspaces, that does not always happen. Accidents can happen and have occurred. In one such accident noted by OSHA, a person was caught in between machinery, which led to chest-related damage. The individual died as a result of that accident.

You have the right to compensation even if your Shaw Industry work injury was not this severe. Turn to your workers’ compensation attorney in Georgia to learn more.

What to Do After Being Injured While Working at Shaw Industries

When you suffer a Shaw Industries work injury, the first step you should take is to determine if emergency medical care is necessary.

Your employer may require you to complete a work and accident report. Detail only the facts of what occurred and what you suffered. Avoid providing too much information or admitting guilt in any way. If you are challenged in this situation, know that you have the option to speak to your attorney. We can help you quickly in these situations.

Potential Dangers That Could Cause a Shaw Industries Work Injury

There are numerous types of risks that can occur if you’re injured while working at Shaw Industries. The type of work you do could be a factor. In manufacturing and distribution channels, some of the most common workers’ compensation risks you face could include the following:

  • Equipment-related injuries: From forklift to line equipment, injuries can happen due to equipment failures, poor maintenance, or improper training or supervision. You may suffer losses that are devastating through some of these equipment failures.
  • Slips and falls: It is not uncommon for those working in this type of environment to fall, and sometimes that can lead to significant damage, including traumatic brain injuries if you’ve hit your head or spine related injuries.
  • Burns: In some situations, you may be at risk for burns due to the equipment or processes you use. This could be due to chemical exposure, too.

These are just some of the biggest risks you could face when you are working. Keep in mind that others may include broken bones, fatigue-related injuries, back pain from lifting, repetitive motion injuries, and even death. Any of these can be devastating.

How to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim for a Shaw Industries Work Injury

In the ideal situation, you could complete a workers’ compensation claim after your injury, the insurance company could provide a fair settlement for the losses you’ve suffered, and you can move on.

  • Completing your claim or updating a claim
  • Negotiating the amount of your claim if you believe it is unfair
  • Working to protect your employment or your benefits
  • Providing support in determining how much your claim should be for long-term medical needs
  • Advising you on whether to pursue additional compensation

Filing a workers’ compensation claim is serious. You need medical care and cannot work, even if it’s temporary, and you have a right to file a claim for benefits.

  • How do I estimate how much my workers’ compensation claim should be in Georgia?
    Georgia workers’ compensation law can be confusing. A good starting point is to understand what all of your losses are, something our attorneys can help you to determine. There are losses related to the medical expenses you’ve incurred as well as losses based on your ability to work or not to work. We encourage you to let our team offer more insight into what you can expect.
