Atlanta Workers' Comp Benefits - Who Pays?

Workers' Compensation Attorney Serving Atlanta

Who will pay the benefits that you may be entitled to receive for your workers' compensation claim? This will vary depending on your employer. Most employers in Atlanta and throughout the U.S. utilize the services of workers' compensation insurance companies. If your employer has purchased a workers' comp insurance policy, this will cover the payment of your claim. In some cases, an employer may be large and successful enough to self-insure. This means that the employer will pay benefits directly to their injured employees.

No matter who pays your claim, you will still benefit by involving an experienced attorney. An Atlanta workers' compensation lawyer can deal with your employer or the insurance company to ensure that your claim is treated in a fair and timely manner. This may include conducting negotiations for a fair settlement, resolving a dispute that arises, gathering more evidence that proves the extent of your injuries and handling an appeal if your claim has been denied for any reason. It may also include filing a lawsuit against your employer for wrongful termination or any type of illegal action taken against you for being injured at work or filing a workers' compensation claim.
