We’re pleased to share two recent workers’ compensation resolutions by MSP partner Rob Monroe.
In one matter, Rob represented a truck driver who injured his knee while performing routine maintenance. The employer initially accepted the claim but later suspended weekly benefits after a premature full-duty release. Rob worked with the treating physician to reverse that release and secured reinstatement of benefits; the case later settled for $40,000.
In another, Rob represented a manufacturing worker who injured her shoulder and remained out of work for nearly three years following surgery. When overuse led to similar problems in the other shoulder, Rob successfully argued it was a “superadded injury,” and the claim resolved for $50,000.
Georgia’s workers compensation system is complex, and contains a maze of terminology, procedural rules, and deadlines. If you or a family member has been injured at work, call MSP for a consultation with Rob about your rights.
MSP Partner Andy Garner, Chair-elect of the Georgia Highlands College Foundation Board of Trustees, spoke to the 2025 graduating class at their commencement ceremony on May 15. MSP has a longstanding history of supporting GHC. Firm partner, the late Judge James D. Maddox, recognized the need for accessible public higher education in Northwest Georgia, and through his influential role on the Board of Regents, he was instrumental in establishing Floyd Junior College in 1970. Now known as Georgia Highlands College, the institution has expanded with campuses in Rome, Cartersville, Dallas, and Marietta, offering bachelor’s and associate degrees in numerous fields of study. Congratulations to all the graduates!
We’re proud to announce that our newest associate, Morgan P. Mathis, was officially sworn into the Georgia Bar by Superior Court Judge Billy Sparks. Morgan, a Rome native, brings strong local roots to our firm, having graduated from Rome High School before completing her undergraduate studies at University of West Georgia. She recently earned her Juris Doctor from Mercer University School of Law in 2024. Her education and local knowledge make Morgan a fantastic addition to our legal team.
