Workers Compensation Attorney in Marietta
Workers’ compensation is a government-sponsored insurance program that covers medical expenses and lost wages if you’re injured on the job site. Most employers are required to carry the coverage, but it’s not free. Employees pay a small premium that’s typically deducted from their wages. While workers’ comp will cover most medical costs, payout times are usually slow.
This means your medical bills are piling up while you wait for your claim to be approved.
Workers’ compensation can also minimize your damages, and this can leave you responsible for some of the costs associated with your injuries. If you need a Marietta workers compensation lawyer, Morgan & Morgan may be able to help. Contact Morgan & Morgan today for a free, no-obligation case evaluation.

What Workers’ Compensation May Cover
Workers' compensation typically covers costs associated with your workplace accident. Some of the benefits you may be eligible to receive can include the following.
- Medical benefits: All your doctor visits, hospital stays, procedures, prescriptions, tests, and other medical costs are paid for by workers’ compensation.
- Missed weekly wages: If you can’t return to work for a bit, workers’ compensation will issue you a paycheck for the entire time you’re recovering. It’s typically lower than your actual pay, but it’s also tax-free.
- Physical therapy: It will be covered if your injury requires physical therapy or other ongoing treatment. You can also receive coverage for occupational therapy or retraining to learn how to return to work with your injury.
- Travel costs: You can track the mileage you spend going to doctor appointments, specialists, and other medical appointments and be reimbursed per mile. The reimbursement rate can vary, so it’s best to check with your employer or workers’ compensation representative.
If your injury is permanent or results in a long-term disability, workers’ compensation can also cover the damages. Families of employees whose injuries result in a fatality may also be eligible to file for workers’ compensation benefits. To learn more about the benefits you may be eligible to receive, contact Morgan & Morgan today.
Injuries Not Covered Under Workers’ Compensation
The Georgia Bill of Rights for Injured Employees states injuries occurring in the workplace or on property owned by the employer are covered by workers’ compensation. However, there are exceptions to the rule that can affect your eligibility to file an injury claim. An example is if you’re injured on your commute to work. However, you are probably covered if the injury occurs during:
- During business travel.
- While driving a company vehicle on work duties.
- While running an errand for your employer off-premises.
- At an offsite work meeting.
- While working from home.
