Were you fired after being injured on the job?

Employers in Georgia can generally terminate the employment of an injured worker without recourse. But once you have an accepted workers’ compensation claim termination does not mean that your entitlement to medical or weekly benefits stop. In fact, you may be entitled to weekly benefits because you have been terminated.  

If you have been fired after an injury and your employer does not commence weekly benefits for you, then you should act immediately.  Your need for to pay for your rent and food without interruption is not a great concern for your employer or their workers' compensation insurer. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney has a variety of methods to get the workers' compensation insurer’s attention and help move the process along more quickly. In the event that they deny further benefits following termination, our workers' compensation law firm can help you to file for a hearing to challenge their decision.

So if you were fired following an injury on the job in Marietta or the Metro Atlanta Area, don’t give up. Instead, contact Cobb County attorney Kenneth R. Croy to guide you through your claim. Remember, there is no fee unless you collect benefits.   Interested in scheduling an initial consultation? Contact us at your earliest convenience by calling (770) 422-0574.
