Georgia is home to the largest carpet and flooring manufacturing industry in the United States, with Dalton proudly known as the “Carpet Capital of the World.”Along the I-75 corridor through Whitfield, Catoosa, Murray, Gordon, Gilmer, and Pickens Counties, thousands of workers power this industry every day at companies like Shaw Industries, Mohawk Industries, Engineered Floors, U.S. Floors, J+J Flooring Group, and Tarkett.
But the work is demanding and often dangerous. Long shifts, heavy machinery, repetitive motions, and exposure to dust or chemicals can all cause serious injuries.
If you were hurt while working in a carpet or flooring facility, you may be entitled to Georgia workers’ compensation benefits—including medical treatment, wage replacement, and long-term disability. Unfortunately, many injured employees find their claims delayed, denied, or cut short by insurance companies and employers looking to save money.
