Meet Kia
More than a lawyer.
The Work Injury Lawyer.
If you've found me on social media, you've probably heard me say one thing over and over: you have rights after a work injury. I'm Lakia Shelton — but most people know me as Kia the Work Injury Lawyer.
Her story
Injured workers, in two states
I represent injured workers in Georgia and Florida, helping them navigate the workers' compensation system with honesty, compassion, and straight answers. My goal isn't to make the law sound complicated — it's to make sure you understand your rights and don't get taken advantage of during one of the most stressful times in your life.
More than $6 million recovered
Over the course of my career, I've secured more than $6 million for injured workers across Georgia and Florida. While every case is different and past results do not guarantee future outcomes, my commitment is always the same: to fight for every benefit and every dollar the law allows.
Guidance at every step
I'm licensed to practice law in both Georgia and Florida and have dedicated my career to workers' compensation law. Whether you're filing a claim, dealing with denied benefits, choosing a doctor, or considering a settlement, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
Honest answers, not scare tactics
If you've watched my videos, then you already know how I practice. I believe injured workers deserve honest answers — not scare tactics, false promises, or confusing legal jargon. I'll tell you what the law says, explain your options, and fight for every benefit you're entitled to receive.
"When you're hurt at work, the insurance company already has a team protecting its
interests.
You deserve someone just as committed to protecting yours."

Beyond the practice
Outside of practicing law, I'm a wife, a mother, and a woman of faith. Those aren't just parts of my life — they're the foundation of how I serve my clients. I understand what it means when an injury affects your ability to provide for your family, and I believe every client deserves to be treated with respect, honesty, and compassion.
Whether your injury happened in Georgia or Florida, my mission is simple: to help you understand your rights, protect your benefits, and make sure you never have to face the workers' compensation system alone. I'm glad you're here, and I look forward to helping you take the next step forward.
