Our Norcross Workplace Shoulder Injury Lawyer Explains Your Options After an Accident
At Bader Scott Injury Lawyers, we help clients with acute or chronic shoulder injuries get the benefits they need. This allows them to get the medical care necessary to heal, cover their costs while missing work, and manage other expenses.
Generally, workers hurt in a Norcross on-the-job accident have access to workers’ compensation. In addition, some could have a third-party case against an at-fault party that is not their employer or a co-worker.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits for a Norcross Shoulder Injury
Per O.C.G.A. § 34-9, most employers in Norcross must provide workers’ compensation insurance for every staff member on their payrolls. This is because these statutes require all workplaces with at least three employees to provide this coverage. When a covered worker is hurt, they should receive:
- Medical care coverage
- Lost wages coverage, usually in the form of temporary total disability, permanent total disability or partial disability
- Death benefits for their family if they pass away from their injuries
When a worker sees an approved medical care provider and receives a diagnosis of a workplace injury, the doctor will likely recommend they stay out of work while they undergo treatment and heal. Wage loss benefits begin after a seven-day waiting period if they cannot return to work at that time.
These weekly payments cover about two-thirds of their usual income up to a state-mandated maximum.
They are available for up to 400 weeks. If a worker is able to return to work at limited capacity, they may be entitled to a lesser amount each week.
Third-Party Injury Claims Based on a Norcross Shoulder Injury
When an outside party plays a role in causing an on-the-job injury, the victim may have a case against them for additional compensation. This includes pain and suffering and other damages unavailable through workers’ comp benefits.
A personal injury lawyer from our team can determine if you qualify to hold another party responsible for your shoulder injury and demand fair compensation from them. This is possible when another party—not your employer or another worker they hired—caused your injuries.
