Have You Been Injured on the Job?
If you are injured on the job or have had a work related accident, you must first notify your supervisor. Your employer is required to have a posted list of approved physicians available to you. After you have selected a physician from the list, you need to contact a lawyer who will ensure that your rights are protected. You see, your employer may be motivated to return you to work before you are able. Often, employers will not be on your side in workers' compensation cases. Let lawyer Brad S. McLelland stand up for your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.
Under Georgia's Workers' Compensation Act employers are required to pay the medical bills of injured employees as well as provide them with income benefits up to $500 per week when they are hurt on the job. Additional benefits exist including mileage reimbursement, independent medical examinations, changes in physicians, and rehabilitative services. If you do not feel your doctor is on your side, you have the right to a free change of physicians. Even if you have a pre-existing injury, you are still covered by the Workers' Compensation Act.
