Workers’ Compensation

In Georgia, if you are employed, and if your employer has over three (3) employees, you are probably covered by workers compensation for any personal injury arising in the scope of employment. If you have a serious injury on the job, you must know the following:

1. Report the incident to your supervisor immediately, or as soon as possible.
2. Unless it is an emergency, you must go to a company doctor.
3. Your employer will be responsible for your medical expenses, and weekly benefits, if you are off work for more than a week.
4. Your employer will be responsible for your prescriptions and travel to the doctor.

Settlement: if you have a permanent injury, which will be rated by a doctor following a surgery, then your case has settlement potential. Your Georgia workers compensation attorney will be able to maximize the settlement recovery for you.

Hearings: If the employer contest payment to you, they may suspend benefits and request a hearing. You would need an workers compensation attorney to represent you.

Your Attorney: An experienced workers' compensation attorney knows the value of your case. They should be able to keep the insurance carrier off your back, and assist you in receiving benefits until you are able to return to work and settle the case.
