Atlanta Work Comp Attorney

To receive compensation for healthcare, disability, lost wages, and occupational retraining under Georgia's workers' compensation laws or "work comp," you must report your work injuries to your employer as soon as possible after the injury happens. Your employer should promptly file a claim with the insurance carrier of the company so that the workers' compensation will be paid to you. You are not required to prove that the employer is at fault in order to receive workers' compensation benefits.

The amount of work comp you receive depends on the severity of your work injuries and the amount of time you are unable to work. At a minimum, all reasonable medical bills in your case will be covered under the state's workers' compensation laws, including chiropractic care and physical therapy sessions.

While back injuries are the most common work injury in Georgia, other claims range from respiratory diseases and carpal tunnel syndrome to dismemberment and death. If an injury occurs during lunch hours, breaks, or a work-sponsored event, it may be covered by workers' compensation laws.
