What kind of benefits am I entitled to under a workers compensation claim?
In general, you are entitled to medical treatment for as long as your injury is a problem for you. If you are disabled by your injury, you may be eligible for various income benefits ranging from temporary total disability to temporary partial disability to permanent partial disability. Income benefits may be limited to a specific period of time and dollar amount depending on the facts of your case. There are other related benefits for which you may be entitled depending on your condition. The benefits you receive are not designed to completely compensate you for your losses. The Georgia workers comp system is only in place to prevent you from sinking too quickly so that you can return to the workforce. Please contact us for a more complete explanation.
