Receiving Benefits After an On the Job Injury
If you were injured at work, you may be worried about how long it will take for your injuries to heal. Unfortunately, this is often more complicated than just finding a doctor who can diagnose and treat you. Your insurance company may not cover the treatment you need, and even if they do, your co-payment may be higher than what you can afford.
At the Daryl J. Walker Law Firm, our attorney has been helping clients file for workers' compensation benefits for over 30 years. We fight against insurance companies, and help our clients receive the compensation they deserve. Firm our Savannah office, we represent clients throughout Georgia's Coastal Empire and the Low Country. Contact our firm online or call 912-480-4827 to schedule your free initial consultation.
Balancing Every Element of the Case
Although the basic premise of workers' compensation cases is straightforward — helping injured parties receive the benefits they deserve — the elements that are combined to make that happen are complicated. Having a broad understanding of the law allows us to look at the big picture of workers' compensation cases. We balance the importance of several issues when we are working through the case, including:
- Need for income
- Ability to survive on reduced income
- Lost wages
- Need for medical treatment
- Need for insurance
- Liens against any personal injury settlement
- Time spent in rehabilitative state
- Risk of long-term disability
- Risk of needing SSDI
If you will be out of work for an extended period of time, we know you may be concerned about making ends meet. When clients contact us, we take the time to understand every aspect of their situation, and we help you understand your rights and options.
