Frequently Asked Questions

What injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Workers' compensation covers most injuries that occur during employment, whether sudden accidents or cumulative conditions like repetitive strain. The injury must arise from and occur during your job duties. We evaluate whether your specific situation qualifies for coverage.

What if my employer retaliates against me for filing a claim?

Georgia law prohibits employers from retaliating against workers for filing legitimate workers' compensation claims. If retaliation occurs, you have additional legal remedies. We document any retaliation and pursue appropriate action to protect you.

Can I receive benefits for a pre-existing condition that worsened at work?

If a workplace activity aggravates a pre-existing condition and prevents you from working, you may be entitled to benefits for the aggravation. This requires medical evidence showing the job caused the worsening. We work with medical professionals to establish this connection.
