Atlanta Workers Compensation Attorneys
Workers' compensation is an accident insurance program paid for by your employer which may provide you with medical, rehabilitation, or income benefits if you are injured on the job. It also provides benefits to your dependents if you die as the result of a job-related injury. In Georgia, employers obtain workers' compensation coverage through private insurers or programs of self-insurance.

Georgia law requires any business with three or more workers, including regular part-time workers, to have workers' compensation. However, several categories of workers are specifically exempted from the Workers' Compensation law. These include:
- federal government employees
- railroad employees
- farmers and farm hands
- domestic servants
- business partners
- some corporate officers
- independent contractors
Pursuing a workers' compensation claim can be frustrating and complicated. It requires negotiating for adequate medical care as well as for payment of ongoing benefits and, when necessary, a settlement that adequately compensates you for long-term loss of income and physical and mental functional ability. Our Workers' Compensation Attorneys at Affleck & Gordon, P.C. have years of experience in looking out for the interests of clients and making sure they get all the benefits they are entitled to.
