All too often injured workers do not fully understand their rights in the wake of an on-the-job accident. This ignorance about rights can be financially or medically devastating. If you or a loved one has been injured on the job, you have the right to certain benefits, free of charge, including:
- Pharmaceutical treatment (prescriptions)
- Medical treatment, second opinions, surgery
- Compensation for lost wages (weekly income)
- Possible temporary/total disability compensation (money for permanent or temporary disability)
In Georgia, you can be terminated in the wake of an accident. That said, in order to fully protect your rights, it is critical to notify your employer about your injury and contact a lawyer who can make sure that you take advantage of all benefits and take the correct steps to protect your rights.
For decades the Mason family has been helping clients do precisely that.
