What to Expect During the Workers’ Compensation Process

Sunday, December 26th, 2010

In ideal circumstances, a workers’ compensation claim will go smoothly, allowing you to receive compensation for injuries sustained in a work-related accident. However, circumstances are rarely ideal, and in many cases the workers’ compensation process becomes complex and even adversarial.

Proving Eligibility

The first step in a workers’ compensation claim is usually proving that your accident and injuries are eligible for coverage by workers’ comp. Simply suffering an injury while at your workplace or while performing job-related duties will not always make your claim an eligible workers’ comp claim. For example, if an employee is injured on the job, but the injury is due to his not following rules or behaving recklessly, he will not be eligible for workers’ comp. The injury also must have occurred during the course of your job, and, in most cases, be related to a specific work condition.

Help With Workers’ Compensation

Although all businesses over a certain size are required to have workers’ compensation insurance, actually collecting a claim can sometimes be difficult. An attorney from Robbins & Associates with extensive experience managing workers’ compensation in the Atlanta area can help you make your case if you are facing injury due to a job-related accident or illness.

Workers’ Compensation and Permanent Disability

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

In the state of Georgia, companies with three or more regular employees are required to maintain workers’ compensation insurance to defray employee expenses if employees are injured on the job or become ill due to a condition of the workplace. In some cases, injuries or illness of this kind can lead to permanent disability.

Does Workers’ Compensation Cover Permanent Disability?

Workers’ compensation does cover long-term or permanent disability. It also provides compensation to the family of an employee who is killed in the course of doing his job. The amount of money provided in these cases is usually based upon a percentage of the employee’s salary.

Workers’ compensation is intended to help defray all costs of on-the-job injury, including lost wages, hospitalization, rehabilitation, physical therapy and other expenses required to help you recover so you can work again. In cases where injury is severe enough that you will not be able to return to work, workers’ compensation will provide a long-term settlement to help you care for your family.

Permanent Disability Cases in Court

Proving a workers’ compensation case can be complex and difficult. When you need workers’ comp to put your life together and care for your loved ones, you might also find yourself needed an experienced workers’ compensation law team to help you make your case.
