But to win that claim your lawyer must show that someone was at fault for your personal injury and that that fault or negligence actually caused your injury.

How do you file a complaint against an former employer for nonpayment of wages in Georgia?

I worked for an employer that decided not to pay us if we worked through our lunches, we worked a full 8 hour day and only paid us for 7 hours, when questioned about our pay he did not answer. After working there 2 weeks he changed the way we got paid from 40 hours a week to 36 hours regardless if we worked over the hours, he would not pay us for it. This went on for 6 weeks until I decided I would no longer work there, now he's refusing to send me my personal items, he says he doesn't have time, he closes at 5 and I am unable to pick up my stuff. Not sure what to do at this point.
