Going to work should never mean putting your safety on the line. But for many employees in Georgia, workplace injuries are an unfortunate reality. Whether it’s a fall on a construction site or an injury in an office setting, workers’ compensation exists to protect you.
Understanding Workers’ Compensation in Georgia
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system designed to provide injured employees with financial support. This includes coverage for:
- Medical expenses: Doctor visits, surgeries, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages: A portion of your income while you recover
- Disability benefits: For temporary or permanent disabilities
However, securing these benefits isn’t always straightforward. Insurance companies often deny claims or minimize payouts, leaving workers without the support they need.
What to Do After a Workplace Injury
If you’ve been injured on the job:
- Report the injury immediately to your employer.
- Seek medical treatment from an approved provider.
- Consult an attorney if your claim is denied or delayed.
