Testimonials

I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.
Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

Can I pick my own doctor to examine me after a serious work injury in Georgia?

A: If you are an employee who has sustained a work injury in Georgia, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible; however, you are not allowed to pick you own doctor to see unless you are paying the bill. If you feel you are not receiving a fair evaluation, you should speak with a Lithia Springs work injury lawyer who understands your pain and frustration.

Because you cannot freely choose your own doctor after you have become a victim of a work injury in Georgia, your employer should have a posted list of physicians that you are able to choose from. Any one of the following referral methods may be used:

Physician panel: must have a minimum of 6 qualified physicians that include an orthopedic surgeon, minority physician, and 4 other qualified physicians;
Conformed physician panel: must have a minimum of 10 qualified physicians; and
Workers' Compensation Managed Care Organization: Approved by the State Board of Workers' Compensation, it contains a greater variety of specialized doctors.

If your work injury requires emergency medical care, you likely will be sent to the nearest emergency room. When the emergency is over, you will need to continue seeing an employer-approved physician.

If you are not satisfied with the results of you examination by the physician you choose, you may select another physician. When you still feel that you have undergone an unfair examination for your work injury in Georgia, seek immediate help from a Lithia Spring work injury lawyer.
