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.

Workers’ Compensation Eligibility in Georgia (Part B)

The regulatory laws and bodies that determine Workers' Compensation eligibility in Georgia unequivocally assert that every injured worker, unless he or she was intoxicated, willfully contributed to the accident, or was fighting or roughhousing at the time of the accident, is eligible for benefits in the event of a work-related accident or condition. If your claim for Workers' Comp has been denied by your employer, speak with a Douglasville Workers' Compensation attorney.

Unlike traditional insurance, Workers' Compensation coverage goes into effect the day you begin working. It is illegal for your employer to deny your injury claim on the grounds that you haven't been working long enough, and you should tell your Douglasville Workers' Compensation attorney if anyone attempted to deny you benefits on the grounds of the term or length of your employment. Denying, or attempting to deny, a Workers' Compensation claim on those grounds has serious consequences for employers.

Difficult Areas in a Workers' Comp Claim

There are some situations that can be more difficult to generalize, such as being injured off-site while performing work-related duties. Speak to a lawyer about the specifics of your injury to determine whether or not your injury qualifies. In most cases, as long as the task you were performing was work-related (for instance, you were on the clock picking up something or supervising operations), you will be eligible, but it's vital that you speak with a lawyer first.

If you have been injured on the job and have been told your claim is not eligible for Workers' Compensation, or you have concerns about the eligibility of your Workers' Comp claim, speak with an attorney who has handled cases like yours in the past and will explain every step of the process to you. When a job-related injury leaves you unable to work, you are entitled to medical care and compensation for your lost pay according to Georgia state law.
