Atlanta Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Workplace Injuries: Know Your Rights

The Law Office of Judy Kim is Atlanta's premier workers' comp law firms and is dedicated to standing up for the rights of employees injured at work. We understand that insurance companies are often reluctant to give people the compensation they deserve. Our team of aggressive attorneys have experience in dealing with these large companies and will fight to see that you get justice.

As an employee, you do have rights when it comes to injuries sustained at work or while performing a work-related duty. According to the State Board of Workers' Compensation (34-9-81.1), you are entitled to the following:

• You and your dependents could be entitled to compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost income.
• Your employer is required to give you a list of doctors which are covered by the company's insurance.
• Workers' compensation insurance should cover all authorized medical bills and prescriptions.
• If you miss work for over seven days, you should be entitled to income compensation.
• If you sustained a catastrophic injury (amputation, paralysis, or severe head injuries), you could be entitled to receive two-thirds of your weekly wage while you are unable to work.
• If there is a wrongful death in the family due to a workplace accident, the family should receive funeral costs.
