Workers’ Compensation
Medical Issues Disagreements over medical issues are common in workers' compensation claims. They can begin the first time you see the workers’ compensation doctor for a workplace injury. We can help you resolve all types of workers' compensation-related medical issues, including those involving failure to authorize treatment recommendations, including: Tests, such as MRIs Surgery Referrals to specialists Chiropractic care
Rejected Claims After an on-the-job injury, you can follow all the proper procedures and still find your workers' compensation claim denied. What do you do then? Generally, you have up to one year from the date of the injury to file an appeal with the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation. Our attorneys will analyze why your claim was denied and compile the facts and expert testimony required to show why your claim should be paid.
Return-to-Work Issues One of the most common workers' compensation problems involves injured workers who are sent back to work before they are physically able to do their jobs. In many instances, the workers’ compensation doctor will certify that the employee is able to go back to light duty work. This may involve working reduced hours or performing a job that is not physically taxing. After a day or two doing light duty work, the employer may send the injured worker back to his or her old job. Returning to work too soon or being assigned tasks that you are physically unable to perform can result in re-injury or a secondary injury. It can set your rehabilitation back weeks or months and, in some cases, cause permanent injury. Learn More
