We Work Hard to Meet Georgia’s Notification and Filing Deadlines
You have rights as an injured employee—our workers’ compensation team works hard to protect them. You also have certain responsibilities, including timely notification to your employer. You are required to inform your employer of your workplace injury within 30 days of its occurrence. Failure to do so could prevent you from receiving benefits you would otherwise have been entitled to recover.

Types of Workers’ Compensation Benefits You Can Recover
According to Georgia’s State Board of Workers’ Compensation (SBWC) guidelines, the financial benefits injured workers can receive will vary. Our workers’ compensation lawyer serving injured employees in East Point will read and review your medical records. They will consult medical experts, when needed, to prove the severity and extent of your injuries and the type of financial benefits you qualify to recover.
You could qualify for workers’ compensation if you have an injury that happened at work or an illness that was caused by the environment at your workplace. This includes:
- Being struck by or caught in between equipment or machinery
- Burns or electrocutions
- Car, truck, and bus accidents
- Exposure to toxic substances
- Overexertion and repetitive stress injuries
- Slip and fall accidents
In general, you can recover two-thirds of your average weekly salary. At Kaine Law, we will obtain your proof of income from all sources of employment to provide an accurate value of your lost wages.
Temporary Total Disability Benefits (TTD)
TTD benefits entitle you to two-thirds of your average weekly wages. They are generally available for up to 400 weeks. If you suffered a catastrophic injury, you could be entitled to unlimited benefits.
Temporary Partial Disability Benefits (TPD)
TPD benefits are for injured workers who can return to work but at a lesser-paying job than they previously held. They are generally available for up to 350 weeks and pay two-thirds of the difference between your current and former wages.
Permanent Partial Disability Benefits
PPD benefits are for injured workers who are not expected to be able to return to work at all. If you qualify for these benefits, you will be given a disability rating, and your compensation will be based on it and other factors based on SWBC guidelines.
Death Benefits
Death benefits are paid to the families of fatally injured employees. Families receive two-thirds of their loved one’s average weekly wages. The decedent’s funeral and burial expenses are also covered. Our workers’ compensation attorney will explain which family members can apply for these benefits.
Medical Benefits
If you were injured or became ill at work, your employer is responsible for your required medical care. You will have to choose your treating physician from a list your employer provides, but all of the following care is covered:
- Emergency room fees
- Diagnostic tests and exams
- Hospital admissions
- Prescription medications
- Travel-related travel expenses
Workers’ compensation will also cover any rehabilitation or therapy required to treat your injury or aid in your recovery. You can receive necessary medical care until you reach maximum medical improvement.
