A: If you are injured on the job in Georgia, you are entitled to medical care as it relates to your work related injury. Beyond medical care, if an authorized doctor takes you out of work for more than seven days you may be entitled to weekly income benefits or weekly checks. If you complete your medical treatment and are still physically or mentally impaired as a result of your workers compensation injury you may be entitled to permanent partial disability benefits. These are the three main benefits you are entitled to. A common myth in workers compensation is that you are entitled to pain and suffering, this is NOT true. You are not entitled to pain and suffering on Georgia workers compensation claims. If you have specific questions about your claim and what benefits you may or may not be entitled to you should contact a Georgia workers compensation lawyer.
