Why would they stop paying you if you under still Dr care
@GeorgiaWorkersCompLawyer
@GeorgiaWorkersCompLawyer 6 күн бұрын
Thank you for your question. Are you asking about being paid wage loss benefits? Under Georgia's workers' compensation law, there are several reasons that wage loss benefits can stop even if you are still receiving medical treatment. Two of the most common reasons are if you return to work or if your workers' compensation doctor says you can return to full duty work without restrictions. There are ways that you can fight the insurance company stopping your wage loss benefits, but it will depend on the specific facts of your case. If you would like to schedule a free consultation to discuss those, you can reach out to our office at 770-214-8885 or visit our website at www.PerkinsLawTalk.com.

Thank you for watching the videos. If you are in North Carolina, it is important to remember that states have different workers' compensation laws. The videos in the Georgia Workers Compensation Video Series reference the workers' compensation laws and rules that apply to Georgia workers' compensation claims. If you are dealing with a workers' compensation claim in a different state, be sure to consult with an attorney who handles workers' compensation claims for that state.

I am sorry to hear that you did not find the video helpful. But, I do appreciate your question and will attempt to answer it. A workers' compensation herniated disk injury does not have a certain value or worth associated with it. There are a number of factors that affect the value of a case such as the temporary total disability rate, whether someone has had surgery or whether it has been recommended, how a person recovered from the injury and what sort of ongoing or permanent limitations they have, what their permanent partial disability rating is, their age, their education, their prior work experience, and whether they are able to return to work or not. Each one of those factors and a number of others affects the settlement value of a case if an individual decides to settle.

Thank you for your question. I am so sorry to hear about your husband's injury as well as his recent termination from his job. It is definitely important to talk to a workers' compensation lawyer when you have an ongoing workers' compensation claim and your employer terminates you. In addition to affecting your benefits through your job, employment termination often affects your rights to workers' compensation benefits as well. If you would like to schedule a free workers' compensation consultation, you can do that visiting www.PerkinsLawtalk.com/consult or by calling our office at 770-809-6939.

Thank you for your question! Many different factors determine the amount for which a case should settle including the type of injury, the job you did, your age, permanent restrictions, future medical treatment, and your preinjury earnings (just to name a few). These two articles from our Perkins Law Talk blog discuss settlement in more detail: perkinslawtalk.com/blog/settlement-of-a-georgia-workers-compensation-case/ and perkinslawtalk.com/blog/how-do-insurance-companies-calculate-settlements/. Also, the best way to have a discussion about settlement is to talk with a workers' compensation attorney.

What if the MRI shows degenerative back disease?
@GeorgiaWorkersCompLawyer
@GeorgiaWorkersCompLawyer 4 ай бұрын
Insurance companies often try to argue that degenerative disc disease is a preexisting condition and was not caused by the work-related injury. Under the workers' compensation law in Georgia, preexisting conditions can be tricky because workers' compensation covers aggravations of preexisting conditions. If you have an attorney, I would recommend discussing with them. If you do not, please feel free to reach out to our office for a free consultation at www.PerkinsLawTalk.com/consult or by calling 770-214-8885.

Thank you for your comment! Every state has different workers' compensation laws. So, the rules and regulations discussions from the Georgia Workers' Compensation Video Series videos would only apply if you have a Georgia workers' compensation claim. From your comment, it sounds like your workers' compensation claim may be in another state's workers' compensation system. I would recommend speaking with your new attorney and asking them your questions.

Then is the only witness 1 of 5 not to show his face during a Zoom testimony with the “I don’t feel so good” but I’ll just call in. Sounds perfectly fine over the phone and uses the word “sure” instead of Yes.

How much is a total knee replacement worth in workers comp case?
@GeorgiaWorkersCompLawyer
@GeorgiaWorkersCompLawyer 9 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question. In a Georgia workers' compensation case, there is no specific amount of money that a knee replacement is worth. First, it depends on whether you are talking about settlement of the whole claim or just specific payment of different types of workers' compensation benefits. In settlement, there are a number of different factors that need to be considered including, but not limited to, whether and for how long the injury keeps someone out of work, what other medical treatment will be needed, and the amount of any workers' compensation checks that are being paid. To get a specific idea of what a particular total knee replacement case would be worth, someone should talk to an attorney specializing in workers' compensation about the specific facts of their particular case.

i returned to work for 2 days for a modified job. then they terminated the modified job because it didn't meet standards. so my employer tells me he has no modified work for me, but he says im still employed with them. what does this mean? is he waiting for my claim to close so that i can come back? what if i take another job? like remote work from home? can he later say when it was time for me to come back i couldnt? and therefore i owe WC insurance monies they paid out? or should he be terminating me because he cannot provide modified work?

Thank you for your question. I am assuming that the insurance company started paying you weekly workers' compensation temporary total disability benefits again when your employer stopped providing modified duty work. Many employers do keep you employed even when you are not actively working. if you earned money elsewhere (whether through remote work or something else), then your weekly workers' compensation benefits would likely be stopped or reduced.

Thank you for your question. Many people have concerns about how their work injury will affect their ability to return to work. It might certainly come up when you apply for work in the future.

If a prospective employer does not ask, I do not know of any law that requires you to disclose your limitations.
