Marietta Workers Comp

The Marietta, workers comp law firm, Nicholson and Associates, represents inured workers in Georgia and offers legal advice in filing claims and settling disputes.

Federal workers comp laws provide remuneration to workers and their families in the event of a work related injury or death. Workers comp benefits may include medical and rehabilitation treatment coverage, payments to cover lost wages, permanent disability compensation and death benefits. The benefits available to an injured worker and their dependants under workers comp serve as the exclusive remedy for the injury and protect the employer from being sued by the injured worker. However, there are certain situations outside the workers comp regulations, when an injured worker can pursue a lawsuit for recovery of their losses from on the job injuries. If, for instance, an injury was due to faulty equipment or a dangerous product, the manufacturer may be held liable for damages. An experienced workers comp attorney can assess all sources of liability to ensure that your best interests are fully considered.

Disputes sometimes arise surrounding the cause of the injury and the responsibility of the employer. Generally, all injuries that happen in conjunction with the duties you perform while on the job are covered by workers comp regardless of fault. However, special circumstances do exist and sometimes workers comp claims are disputed by the employer or the insurance company. An accomplished attorney can help to resolve disagreements and assist with appeals of unfavorable settlements.
