Ask James Murphy a Question

How long should I expect it to take to receive reimbursements for expenses accrued during my Georgia Workers' Compensation case?

A: You should expect to receive reimbursements for your Georgia Workers' Compensation case within 30 days of submitting approved expenses. If you are having difficulty with your claim or with obtaining your payments, you can speak to an Atlanta injury law firm for assistance and guidance throughout your claim's process.

While the Workers' Compensation Statute requires carriers to reimburse you within 30 days, you may receive payments in less time.

If you turn in your documents requesting reimbursement, and you do not receive the payment within the 30-day time period, penalties can be added to the original amount you requested to be collected.

In Georgia Workers' Compensation cases, companies are required to act in a timely manner, but so are the employees. You have to make sure that you submit your request for reimbursement for your approved expenses within a year from the date the service was rendered.

If you fail to do so, you waive your rights to collect compensation from your employer or Workers' Comp insurance provider.

Many employees unwittingly waive rights to compensation, either because they failed to act in a timely manner, or because they were unaware of rights to benefits and compensation that they were entitled to.

It is a good practice to consult with an experienced Workers' Comp Atlanta injury law firm to discuss your claim and make sure you have a firm understanding of your rights and responsibilities. You can feel at ease knowing you're in good hands with an attorney who knows how to fight for your rights and protect the compensation you need and deserve.
