FAQ's
Regarding Georgia Workers’ Compensation:
-
Can I File a Workers' Compensation Appeal if My Claim Is Denied?Yes, if your workers' compensation claim is denied in Georgia, you can appeal the decision. The first step is to request a hearing before the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation. During this hearing, both parties present evidence and arguments supporting their positions. Our skilled legal team will represent your interests, ensuring that all relevant facts and documentation are clearly articulated. It's crucial to act promptly, as Georgia law imposes strict deadlines for filing appeals. We provide comprehensive support throughout the appeals process, from gathering evidence to navigating the intricacies of legal procedures, to enhance the chance of a favorable outcome.
-
How Is the Amount of Workers' Compensation Determined?The amount of workers' compensation you may receive is determined by the severity of your injury, medical costs, and your average weekly wage prior to the injury. In Georgia, temporary disability benefits typically cover two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to a state-imposed cap. Medical benefits cover all necessary medical treatment related to the injury with approved healthcare providers. In situations involving permanent disabilities, compensation may also reflect the long-term impact on your ability to work, assessed through medical evaluations. Attorneys play a key role in ensuring accurate compensation calculations by presenting extensive documentation and advocacy.
-
What Should I Do Immediately After a Workplace Injury?After a workplace injury, your immediate priority should be seeking medical attention to address any health concerns. Prompt medical care not only prioritizes your well-being but also provides necessary documentation for your workers' compensation claim. Once you've attended to your medical needs, inform your employer about the incident as soon as possible. Report any details surrounding the cause of the injury and make sure your employer files an official incident report. This is a crucial step, as Georgia law requires injuries to be reported within 30 days to maintain your eligibility for workers' compensation benefits.
