You May Be Eligible for Multiple Types of Compensation

Many employees who suffered injuries at work, or who suffer from a job-related illness, should be able to get benefits through workers’ compensation if they require some medical care and/or time away from work. Some may also qualify to pursue additional compensation by taking legal action against the party who caused their accident and injuries.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Georgia

If you suffered injuries at work in Georgia, you likely qualify for workers’ comp benefits. Under Georgia’s workers’ compensation law, any employer who has three or more employees must offer all workers this type of insurance coverage. If the employee gets hurt at work, they often qualify for compensation that includes:

• Paying for your medical care
• Covering a portion of your lost wages

Our Georgia injuries lawyers in Georgia can help you understand your rights under workers’ compensation and help you to properly file your claim. If your employer or their insurer already denied your claim for benefits, we can appeal the decision.

Pursuing a Personal Injury Case

When you call our team about your work injuries case, we will not only look at your options for workers’ compensation, but we will also review your options for filing a civil case. In most cases, the law limits our ability to hold your employer responsible, but sometimes a third party causes a workplace accident. When this happens, you may have a right to hold them liable for your damages.

Depending on the circumstances of your injuries, the liable party could include:

• A subcontractor
• A property owner
• A contractor
• A distributor or supplier
• Another visitor to the job site
• A machinery, tool, or parts manufacturer

For example, if your injuries occurred when a piece of heavy machinery broke and we can identify a defect that caused the failure, a Georgia work injuries lawyer may be able to hold the manufacturer liable. If we win a verdict or negotiate an out-of-court settlement, we may be able to recover damages including:

• Additional lost wages
• Ongoing care costs
• Diminished earning capacity
• Out-of-pocket costs
• Pain and suffering damages
• Mental anguish

Let us review your case and explain your legal options. Call us today at 888-612-7001 to get started.

Act Quickly Before Time Runs Out

There are strict time limits in a work injury case, both to get workers’ compensation and to take legal action in a possible personal injury case. If we do not make these deadlines, it may be too difficult or impossible to recover the payouts you deserve.

Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws give you as little as 30 days to notify your employer of your injury or illness and your intent to file a claim. For this reason, it is paramount you follow your employer’s notification rules and let them know as soon as possible, in a way they can’t deny you did so.

Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations for taking legal action in a civil case if a civil case is also involved. If we can identify the liable party in your accident, we only have two years, or less, to file a personal injury lawsuit. Let us review your case today to ensure we have time to investigate your injuries and build a solid case for compensation.
