According to the Motion Picture Association of America, the Georgia film industry ranks third in the nation behind California and New York. In fact, Georgia has nearly 3,000 motion picture and television industry businesses. Production companies for studios like Netflix, Apple, and Amazon are operating around the click, in addition to traditional studios like 21st Century Fox.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, sets present risks to workers. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, common causes of accidents on sets include:<\/p>\n Most employers in Georgia are legally obligated to provide workers’ compensation insurance to their employees. Workers’ compensation provides benefits, in the event of an injury or illness. Workers’ compensation coverage takes effect as soon as you begin working.\u00a0Under the Georgia Workers’ Compensation Act, injured employees may be entitled to medical treatment, lost income and disability benefits, while family members of employees who have died in a workplace accident may be entitled to death benefits and burial expenses.<\/p>\n In the heart of Georgia’s workers’ compensation law lies the no-fault principle. This principle is a double-edged sword: it provides a safety net for workers by allowing them to receive benefits without proving fault, but it also precludes them from filing personal injury lawsuits against their employers in most cases. This system aims to protect both the employee and employer, offering a quicker resolution to injury claims but limiting the potential for additional compensation through litigation.<\/p>\n Understanding this system’s nuances is crucial. An injured worker must navigate the legal maze to access medical benefits, income replacement, and rehabilitation services. The Law Offices of T. Andrew Miller, LLC excels in interpreting these legal intricacies, advocating for clients’ rights, and ensuring that the no-fault system works in their favor. Whether it’s negotiating with insurance carriers or representing clients in front of the State Board of Workers’ Compensation, the firm stands as a bulwark against the complexities of the legal process.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.amillerlegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cropped-view-of-worker-with-broken-arm-in-gypsum-opt.jpg” alt=”Settlement FAQSs” title_text=”cropped-view-of-worker-with-broken-arm-in-gypsum-opt” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n The aftermath of an on-set injury can be chaotic. Immediate medical attention, reporting the injury to the employer, and starting the claims process are the first critical steps.
