Workers’ Compensation

Job-related injuries, accidents, disabilities or wrongful death.  Click here for what to do.

In the state of Georgia, any employer that has three or more employees must purchase a Workers’ Compensation insurance policy or be allowed by the state to be self-insured. This insurance provides medical and living expenses for employees injured while performing work for the employer. These are called Workers’ Compensation (or Workers’ Comp) benefits.

In general, an injured worker is entitled to medical treatment for as long as the injury is a problem. If you are disabled by an injury, you may be eligible for income benefits ranging from temporary partial disability or temporary total disability to permanent partial disability. These benefits are provided to you in the form of weekly checks for you and your family’s living expenses and payments to your medical providers, including any authorized doctor prescribed medication or therapy. Even your mileage to and from the doctor’s office, medical treatment center, therapist office and pharmacy are reimbursable.

Workers’ Compensation insurance is highly regulated, and claims must be very specific. It is not only technical, but complicated. Insurance companies are not in business to simply write you checks just because you claim an injury, BUT it is the law when you qualify. If you are legitimately injured on the job, these benefits are legally yours. They are your right. You should be compensated as the law intends. Your family should not suffer needlessly because you are injured while working.

The Monk Law Firm practices Workers’ Compensation law, but only to represent claimants and their families. We will fight for your right to these benefits. You or your family should not be needlessly burdened by your on-the-job injury and suffer financial consequences due to the lack of income and possibly mounting medical bills. If you are permanently or severely injured, the stakes are much higher.

These benefits are your entitlement - under the law. This is not welfare. You’ve earned them.

What to do if you’ve been injured.

Workers’ compensation cases are accepted on a contingency basis. You only pay us when we recover benefits on your behalf or settle your case.
