On-the-Job Injury?
Call Our Georgia Income Replacement Lawyers
Few of us can go weeks without any income to cover our mortgage or rent, pay our bills and put food on the table for our families. Under Georgia's workers' compensation law, you are entitled to receive income benefits. What happens, then, if your employer delays filing your claim, or if your claim is denied? At the law firm of Gregory Smith Law, LLC in Augusta, we won't let employers or their insurance companies get away with paying you a dime less than what you are legally owed.
Temporary Total Disability
If your on-the-job injury is such that you will not be able to return to work for a period of time, you are entitled to receive a weekly income replacement check in the amount of two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to the maximum allowed by law. Our Augusta disability income attorneys make sure that you are receiving everything you are owed - assisting with filing the claim, working with physicians, and dealing with the insurance company.
Temporary Partial Disability
When your work-related injury allows you to return to "light duty" work that pays less than your usual job, or does not provide the same number of hours, you may be eligible for temporary partial disability payments. Augusta disability income attorney Gregory Smith will see to it that you get the maximum benefit allowed by law.
Permanent Partial Disability
If you have suffered the permanent loss of use of any part of your body, you are entitled to receive permanent partial disability payments. Our Augusta disability income attorneys will work with the physician to make sure that you receive an accurate permanent impairment rating, ensuring that you get the maximum allowable income benefit.
What to Do if Your Claim Has Been Denied
If your claim has been denied, contact one of our experienced attorneys immediately. We will investigate your claim, request a hearing, and push your case forward.
