Atlanta, GA -- (SBWire) -- 03/11/2016 --Darwin F. Johnson, a leading workers' compensation attorney serving Atlanta, released a breakdown of the reports on last year's work injuries in the state of Georgia. The full article, which breaks down the fatal and non-fatal workplace injury incident statistics, is available to view on his firm's website.

According to The Law Offices of Darwin F. Johnson's site, there were nearly one hundred-fifty total fatal work injuries in Georgia in 2014 (he noted that the statistics for fatal work injuries are released pertaining to two years prior). His firm also said that there was an increase in workplace deaths by thirty-one people between 2013 and the following year, and that the three most common causes of death on the job were transportation incidents, violence by person or animal, and falls, trips and slips, respectively.

Johnson also said that while deaths are down overall since the 1990s, they are increasing in comparison with more recent years. He urged employers, working folks and citizens to be proactive in trying to reduce those numbers.

As for the non-fatal statistics, according to The Law Offices of Darwin F. Johnson, there were just shy of forty thousand indemnity claims in Georgia in 2015, and benefits paid out to them totaled over one billion dollars. Furthermore, Georgia saw over one hundred thousand medical claims, and over two hundred twenty million dollars in medical payouts. Johnson says that the magnitude of those numbers only show that workplace accidents are anything but uncommon.

Johnson, an Atlanta-based workers' compensation lawyer, also wants his clients to know that while the numbers are helpful, he does not view them as mere statistics, and will fight to try and get them the compensation that they are entitled to in the wake of a workplace accident.
