Have you been injured in the workplace?
Georgia law does not require workers injured on the job to prove that the injury was their employer’s fault. You receive compensation regardless of whether your own carelessness played a role in the accident that caused your injury. Depending on the severity of your injury, you may be eligible for the following compensation based on a percentage of your income:
- Total temporary disability (TTD)—Payments may continue for up to 400 weeks.
- Permanent total disability (PTD)—Payments for PTD continue for the duration of the disability.
- Permanent partial disability (PPD)—Scheduled awards are paid in addition to TTD benefits when the TTD benefits end. The amount of TTD benefits does not reduce your PPD payments.
If you are collecting workers compensation benefits you also receive full medical benefits with no time or monetary limits. However, you must select a doctor from the list provided by your employer.
