Albany, Georgia Workers’ Comp Claims Lawyers
Above and Beyond Workers’ Comp
The workers’ compensation system generally provides an exclusive remedy for employees against their employers and co-workers, meaning an injured employee cannot ordinarily file a personal injury action against their employer, even if the employer was at-fault for the accident. However, there are exceptions to this rule.
In Georgia, workers injured on the job due to the negligence of a third party other than their employer can normally pursue a personal injury claim against the at-fault party in addition to obtaining workers’ compensation benefits. Third parties can include:
- At-fault parties that contributed to the accident other than your employer
- The makers of a defective piece of equipment
- Negligent property owners, and more
Our attorneys will examine all avenues of compensation when determining your legal options. In personal injury cases, we pursue compensation on behalf of our clients, including:
- Compensation for medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and Suffering
- Punitive damages, when applicable
Frequently Asked Questions
You Need Answers, and We Have Them
Yes, it is possible to get workers’ compensation benefits for injuries that make pre-existing conditions worse. According to O.C.G.A. § 34-9-1(4) (2024), a covered injury includes the aggravation of a pre-existing condition that occurs while an employee is performing their job. This coverage applies for as long as the injury is the cause of the employee’s disability and ends when the aggravation of the pre-existing condition no longer causes disability. If work or an accident at work aggravates a pre-existing condition, employees should immediately notify their employer and seek medical treatment.
While the law does provide some coverage, employers and insurance companies may contest claims that involve a pre-existing injury aggravated at work. That’s why having dedicated workers’ comp attorneys in your corner can make all the difference for a workers’ compensation claim. They can help you regain a sense of normalcy in your life after an insurance company attempts to deny you benefits for a pre-existing condition workers compensation claim.
Report your injury to your employer immediately. GA Code § 34-9-80 requires that workplace injuries be reported within 30 days, but it’s best to do it as soon as possible to avoid any disputes about when or how the injury occurred. Make sure the report is in writing and that you keep a copy for your records.
Typically, worker’s comp can last for up to about 7.7 years from the date of the incident, but there are exceptions.
Workers’ Comp lawyers are responsible for providing clients with personalized and aggressive legal representation in order to get those clients the absolute maximum amount of money possible for their workplace injury. This could include filing additional personal injury claims or lawsuits.
