Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ Compensation Lawyer in Atlanta
The Sureck Law Firm will fight for your Workers Compensation rights.
The labor force is America’s backbone; without them we would not have the roads, bridges, railways, buildings, and other modern amenities that are needed for a functioning society. Whenever something bad happens to a worker while on the job, they have two things to protect them; the Workers’ Compensation law and injury lawyers at the Sureck Law Firm
Generally, any employee who works for an employer (with 3+ employees), should by law be covered by workers compensation. This means that if you are injured, regardless of fault, in the course and scope of employment, you are entitled to receive medical benefits with approved doctors, possibly workers compensation payments while you are missing work, and potentially money for any permanent impairment you have sustained. All accidents should be reported to your employer and written up.
Workers Compensation cases are difficult. There is no money for pain and suffering. Employers and the insurance company may try to decrease their exposure, try to keep you out of the workers compensation system, and may threaten your job security. It is our experience that employees do not know their rights in this area of the law and that employers are not likely to go out of their way to explain.
The Sureck Law Firm will fight for you and will hold employers to the Workers’ Compensation Law.
The attorneys at the Sureck Law Firm have an unrivaled depth of knowledge about the Workers’ Compensation law and will fight for any employees who believe that they are not getting the compensation they deserve. The Workers’ Compensation law is required to provide coverage for employees in the following ways:
- Wage replacement benefits ( if an authorized doctor takes you off work, or if your employer is not accommodating restrictions from an approved doctor, or if you are working on restrictions and are receiving less money than before the accident)
- Medical treatment ( injured employees should be afforded a choice among approved doctors, and generally all orders and referrals from that doctor should be set up and paid for)
- Permanent impairment
- Other benefits
