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.

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.

Different Types of Georgia Workers’ Compensation Benefits (Part B)

Under Georgia Workers' Compensation, you may be reimbursed for any additional covered medical expenses that you incur. Reimbursement typically is provided within 30 days of the date you submit your expenses. However, you need to submit your expenses within one year to avoid losing that compensation. When you need help in Villa Rica, a Georgia lawyer can help ensure that you meet all deadlines to seek compensation.

Georgia Workers' Compensation: Disability Benefits

The disability benefits that fall under Workers' Comp are permanent partial disability, temporary partial disability and total disability. Certain provisions apply in the event that you have lost a body part or lost the use of a body part, such as a limb or your eyesight.

Permanent partial disability - Benefits include a maximum weekly compensation of $500 and two-thirds of the difference in pre-accident vs. post-accident wages. How long these benefits will last depends on your injury. If a toe had to be amputated, for example, you may receive 20 weeks of disability, but if you lost a leg, you could receive more than 200 weeks of compensation.
Temporary partial disability - The highest payment is $334 a week for no more than 350 weeks. Additionally, you may receive two-thirds of the difference in your wages before and after the accident.
Total disability - There is a waiting period of 1-3 weeks with a $500 maximum weekly benefit. You are also entitled to more than 65% of your average weekly pay based on the 13 weeks leading up to your injury. These benefits end after approximately 7.5 years.

Because laws regarding timing and payment caps for Georgia Workers' Compensation benefits are subject to change annually, you should discuss your Villa Rica case with a Georgia lawyer. An experienced lawyer is well-versed on current statutes and how they relate to your situation.
