Workers’ Compensation Attorney Thomas W. Herman of The Law Firm of Westmoreland, Patterson, Moseley and Hinson in Macon, Ga. answers the question:
What type of benefits can I recover under the Workers Compensation Act in Georgia?
Georgia provides two basic benefits under workers comp.
One are income replacement benefits if your injury causes you to lose time from work.
And the other benefit is medical treatment. Workers comp will pay for any treatment that you required because of your injury at no cost to the injured worker. And that includes not only doctors visits, it includes prescriptions, any assistive device and reimbursement for your mileage in attending medical appointments.
