How Does Georgia Workers’ Compensation Work?
Workers’ compensation serves as a vital safety net for employees who have an injury or illness as a direct result of their job. Workers’ comp can cover medical expenses, provide financial assistance during recovery and compensate the worker for permanent disabilities. It provides crucial support when employees are at their most vulnerable, allowing them to afford treatment without the added stress of financial burden. Workers’ compensation typically covers:
- Medical bills and treatment costs
- Rehabilitation expenses
- A portion of lost wages
- Benefits to dependents in cases of fatal work-related accidents
- Costs associated with retraining or skill development if unable to return to the previous job
It is essential for workers to assert their right to these benefits to maintain their livelihood and cover expenses during their recovery period.
