Introduction
What Can Georgia Workers’ Compensation Cover?
Workers’ compensation covers injuries that an employee may suffer while performing work responsibilities. The specific aspects that workers’ compensation can cover are medical expenses, a percentage of lost wages, and support for retraining if the injured party is unable to return to his or her previous job. If you are very seriously injured, disability benefits may also cover any money that you may lose in the future because of a reduction in the overall salary potential due to injury. Temporary Disability Benefits
Georgia will give temporary total disability benefits to an employee who is unable to work for more than a week because of an injury. They will pay two-thirds of what the injured party’s weekly earnings before the injury. However, Georgia state law caps that weekly wage at $575 per week. You can keep receiving these benefits until you have healed or for a maximum of 400 weeks
