Laws for Workers' Compensation in Georgia

Wage Payback

Wage benefits are allocated to you at the fee of two-thirds of your weekly wage. This is typically measured by averaging your wages for the 13 weeks prior to your accident. Cost of living and weekly reimbursements will not be higher after the amount is determined. Weekly wage settlements are not allocated until the authorized treating physician has told you not to work.

Medical Reimbursement

Medical benefits are allocated by your employer and their insurance company. You don't have to pay a deductible. The physician or hospital will not bill you personally. Medical reimbursement includes mileage to and from the physician and prescription payments.

Receiving a Permanent Partial Disability Rating

After your doctor returns you to work and you are totally healthy, the doctor should give a PPD rating that will give an end payment to you.
