Getting hurt at work is stressful enough. But many injured workers in Georgia face a second injury when they receive unfair settlement offers. Insurance companies know how to save money. Without a lawyer, you could miss out on the benefits you deserve.
The Problem With Going It Alone
Insurance adjusters often appear helpful. They may seem concerned about your injury. But their job is to save the company money. This means offering the lowest settlement possible. Many injured workers accept these offers, not knowing they can get more. Some never receive full medical coverage or wage benefits.
Why You Need Legal Help
Georgia’s workers’ compensation system can be complex. There are rules, deadlines, and procedures you must follow. An attorney knows how to navigate the system and fight for your rights. Without a lawyer, it is easy to make mistakes. Missing a deadline or failing to submit proper paperwork could reduce or deny your claim.
Common Tactics That Hurt Workers
Insurance companies may:
- Question whether your injury was work-related
- Push you to return to work too early
- Refuse to approve necessary treatments
- Downplay your injury or disability rating
- Offer a quick but low settlement
These tactics are hard to fight on your own. An experienced workers’ comp attorney knows how to counter these moves.
