Dawn McCarthy

Dawn McCarthy works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in Georgia. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Dawn McCarthy handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Georgia, including Employer Retaliation, Third Party Claims, Permanent Disability, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In Georgia, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Dawn immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Dawn McCarthy's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 17 years of experience in Georgia workers' comp law, Dawn knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

Dawn McCarthy primarily serves clients in Dunwoody and the surrounding Georgia area, but handles cases throughout the state. If you're in Georgia and were injured at work, contact Dawn's office for a free consultation regardless of your location.
