Nicholson & Associates helps injured workers in the Atlanta area and throughout Georgia receive workers compensation benefits.

Workers compensation laws protect both the employee and the employer in the event of a work related injury by providing medical and disability benefits for the injured worker and shielding the employer against personal injury lawsuits. Georgia law requires all employers with over three employees, except for some special exceptions, to carry workers compensation insurance. Workers compensation benefits cover the medical costs associated with a job related injury as well as wage loss and diminished earning capacity that may result from an on the job injury. Compensation is set by schedules prepared by the state and are based on a percentage of the workers pre-injury wages. Death benefits are also provided for workers families to cover the cost of funerals and lost wages.

Workers compensation claims can be complicated by an additional liability that is not covered by workers compensation benefits. This situation may arise when a worker's injury is caused by faulty equipment or dangerous products. In these cases, an accomplished workers compensation attorney can assess culpability and pursue compensation in a personal injury civil suit. Similarly, independent contractors and other workers who are not covered by workers compensation benefits may file personal injury lawsuits to recover their losses stemming form work-related injuries.
