Marietta Workers Compensation Attorney

Casey W. Stevens Law: Alpharetta Personal Injury and Car Accident Lawyers Represent Employees Injured on Their Jobs all Over North Georgia

Employers are required by law to carry workers compensation insurance for one simple reason – accidents are an inevitable part of life. In an ideal world, there would be no dangerous jobs, but the fact is that there are and injuries occur every day to people just trying to earn a living for their families. In order to file a workers compensation claim, your injury must have occurred in the course and scope of your employment to be compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Act. This does not mean that the injury had to happen at your normal place of work. Determining if your injury requires a workers compensation claim depends on two main factors – is it job related and whether it was required or essential for your job.

Injuries and illnesses that may entitle you to workers compensation benefits include, but are not limited to, the following conditions:

• Back injuries due to heavy lifting
• Injuries due to falls or falling objects
• Injuries from vehicle accidents, including delivery trucks and forklifts
• Burns and eye injuries due to chemical splashes
• Repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel
• Hearing loss due to equipment noise
• Illness due to exposure to dangerous substances
• Injuries sustained due to repetitive actions

If you have suffered injury because of any aspect of your job, you owe it to yourself to consult with a personal injury attorney like Casey Stevens who will inform you of your rights under current Georgia law.

Ideally, your employer and their insurance company will cover all of your medical bills, pay you for missed work, and work with you to accommodate your injury in your job. Workers compensation insurance benefits could include the following:

• Medical care
• Temporary disability benefits
• Permanent disability benefits
• Supplemental job displacement benefits
• Vocational rehabilitation
• Death benefits

Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and when you are denied workers compensation benefits from your employer, a personal injury attorney like Casey W. Stevens can help.
