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.

If I get hurt at work will I get a paycheck?

If you are hurt at work in the State of Georgia and a Workers’ Compensation doctor (authorized treating doctor) takes you out of work for a period of seven days or longer you are entitled to receive a weekly check. Georgia Workers’ Compensation Law requires an injured party to be out of work for 21 consecutive days before the employer/insurer is required to compensate you for the first seven days of disability. This weekly check is known as temporary total disability benefits (TTD). Unfortunately the amount of your TTD check is limited to two-thirds of your gross salary or five hundred dollars whichever is less. Therefore, if you are earning wages of seven hundred and fifty dollars per week or greater the most you will be able to receive in TTD benefits will be five hundred dollars a week under Georgia law.

Granted this is often not enough to support a family; hopefully you may have your own disability policy or other disability policy through work which may provide you added income. You have other rights under Workers’ Compensation Law in Georgia such as medical benefits and other rights as to compensation for your claim. You should speak to an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer for an understanding of your legal rights before talking to an insurance adjuster or even your employer about what your rights are under Georgia Workers’ Compensation.
