Workers' Compensation

What is Workers' Compensation?

Workers' compensation is the system of laws nationwide that govern how an accident on the job is handled. Your employer has (hopefully) paid for workers' compensation insurance to assist injured workers, but the rules of workers' comp are very different than any other type of accident. The insurance is designed to help cover your lost wages and medical bills while you are out of work due to an injury that was sustained on the job.

Not every accident attorney has the expertise to handle workers' compensation claims. In addition, not every workers' comp attorney has the expertise to know when you have a claim against an outside company in addition to your workers' compensation claim. That's why it is so important to find a firm like Brooks Injury Law, that can handle both workers' compensationand "third party" claims, so you get every penny you are entitled to under the law.

Workers' Compensation Facts

In Georgia, the law requires any business with three or more workers, including part-time employees, to have workers' compensation insurance.

Your injury must have been the result from an accident that occurred on the job. Workers' compensation cannot cover pre-exisiting injuries.

In order to receive workers' compensation benefits, you must be considered an employee rather than an independent contractor (just because you get paid as a 1099 contractor does not mean you are not an employee).

It is illegal for your employer to retaliate if you file a workers' compensation claim against them.

    I had a great experience with Brooks Injury. They were very professional and the duo of James and Sara were amazing. James was always honest with me in what to expect. He fought hard for me, and made me feel like he was on my side. Sara … More is also the best, she always updated me on my case, she answered every question, always got back to me in a timely manner. I appreciate them both tremendously. Thank you again, James and Sara.

    My experience with The Brooks Law firm was awesome. During the whole process, I felt like my case was the most important case they had, (Of course I know they had lots of other cases), but that's how they made me feel. I was always … More informed about the process every step of the way. They included me in the decision making and welcomed any ideas that I may have had. The staff was very professional and expressed great concern and compassion as they handled my case. If ever I need representation again, they will be first on my list. Thank you Brooks Law Firm, you are greatly appreciated.
