Workers’ compensation benefits are essential for employees who sustain workplace injuries or illnesses and are not able to work while they are recovering. Such benefits include weekly wages, coverage for injury-related medical expenses, medical care provided by an authorized physician, and the ability to return to work on a limited basis once an employee is well enough to return to work. Workers’ compensation benefits for injured and ill Georgia workers is important not only for the person who has sustained injuries or illness but also for the employer and Georgia’s workforce as a whole. When injured and ill employees are unable to work, the consequences reach beyond physical injuries. As such, workers’ compensation is intended to get employees back to work as soon as possible.

Workplace accidents can turn a person’s life upside down. Many workplace accidents are minor enough that the worker can return to work within a few weeks. However, when injuries are severe enough to keep an employee out of work for a longer period, such as three or more weeks, the physical, mental and financial consequences can be difficult both on the injured worker as well as any family members that rely upon that worker’s income for support. Georgia, like other states, has workers’ compensation laws that are intended to help injured workers by providing medical treatment, coverage for medical expenses, and compensation for lost wages during the recovery period.
