How Do I Get My Workers' Compensation Benefits?
On The Job Injury lawyer in North Georgia
If you or someone you know has been injured at work in Georgia, Robbins & Associates is here to help. We are experienced with the Georgia workers’ compensation laws. In order to make sure you receive your benefits, we suggest you take the following steps:
- Notify your supervisor, your personnel department, and your union steward immediately after your accident on the job.
- Get the medical care you need. However, you may be required to go to a doctor selected by your employer. If you have been injured at work, your employer’s insurance company is legally obligated to pay for your necessary medical treatment.
- If your employer writes an accident report, make sure you get a copy of it. Also, make sure that your union steward and employer obtain the names of workers who witnessed your injury or assisted you afterward. This information may be needed in order to obtain workers’ compensation benefits.
- If your workers’ compensation claim is rejected, this ruling can be appealed. However, we strongly suggest that you seek legal advice before doing so .
