    Workers’ compensation has many regulations that both the injured worker and the insurance companies have to follow. You need an attorney who knows the requirements to ensure that you receive all the benefits available to you, and that the insurer is playing by the same rules. Insurance companies have attorneys working for them, which is why you need to have experienced litigators working for you. We only represent injured workers, and we pride ourselves on ensuring that our clients’ rights are protected.

    What to do after a workplace accident in Suwanee, GA

    If you’re a resident of Suwanee and have suffered a work-related injury, we advise that you take action as soon as possible. First and most importantly, seek medical attention and notify your manager. This will “get the ball rolling,” so to speak, and begin establishing a paper trail.

    Don’t wait too long to file a workers’ compensation claim or else insurance companies could view your injury as illegitimate. Another reason not to delay is because Georgia places a “statute of limitations” (deadline) on work injuries. Workers’ compensation claims must be filed within 1 year from the date of the accident.

    When it comes time to file a formal workers’ compensation claim, you will be asked to include several details about your injury and situation such as the location of the injury on your body, where and how the injury occurred, time and date, and potential witnesses. It’s also important to attend all follow-up medical appointments. And please, refrain from posting on social media.


    If you suffered a work-related injury while on-the-job, here’s a quick step-by-step checklist of important steps to follow:

    1. Seek medical attention immediately.
    2. Notify your supervisor or manager.
    3. Start the workers’ compensation papertrail by filing a claim. (Injured workers who fail to report a work-related injury within 30 days could lose their right to receive workers’ compensation benefits.)
    4. Consult a knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorney near you to learn about your rights.
    5. Visit your employer’s approved doctor for any follow-up treatment. Attend all doctor’s visits and physical therapy.
    6. Don’t post to social media sites while you’re on the mend!

    What workers’ compensation benefits can you receive?

    If you’ve been hurt at work, it’s important to report the accident to your manager and start the workers’ compensation process as soon as possible. Once you report the incident and are receiving treatment, the process has officially begun.

    Depending on your specific circumstances, Suwanee workers who are injured on the job could be entitled to receive:

    • Medical benefits. Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance should cover any expenses regarding medical treatment or diagnosis of on-the-job related injuries. Emergency room, hospital and doctors visit bills are generally covered, as are prescription drugs and travel expenses (to and from medical care).
    • Lost wages. Roughly two-thirds of your lost wages will be paid weekly, up to a certain cap. Two types of wage replacement benefits are available:
      • Total Temporary Disability benefits (TTD) — The maximum benefits you can receive per week as of July 1, 2019 is $675.
      • Total Partial Disability benefits (TPD) — An injured worker is eligible for TPD benefits for up to 350 weeks in Georgia.
    • Permanent Partial Disability benefits (PPD). Following medical treatment, your physician may decide that you suffer from a certain level of “permanent” impairment, and that may allow you to qualify for PPD benefits. These weekly payments kick in when you are no longer receiving TTD or TPD wage replacement benefits. You may be able to get this payout even if you return to work.
    • Death benefits. If an employee is tragically killed while on the job, these benefits are paid to the worker’s dependents (child or spouse) to cover funeral costs and lost wages.

    Often, those who suffer hearing loss, loss of eyesight, or the complete loss of a body part due to amputation may be entitled to additional benefits.

    Don’t take your employer at their word if they say your workplace injury isn’t covered.

    Friendly, honest, professional
    “Ben is friendly, honest, professional. After being injured at work, my former employer played some games with my paycheck and health coverage; I never would have known they weren’t allowed to do that without Ben. He recovered money owed, had my coverage reinstated, and insisted they pay a penalty.”

    About Suwanee, Georgia

    Suwanee may have started as a small, sleepy Southern town, but it has seen explosive growth over the last half-century. Like many Georgia communities, the area around Suwanee was originally Native American land. Small Shawnee and Cherokee villages often were the original “seeds” to later settlements. These villages were established along the Chattahoochee River and, in the case of Suwanee, settled along Suwanee Creek which connects to the Chattahoochee.

    Around 1817, the first village appeared on government maps. The local post office was one of the first structures to be built in 1837. The origins of the name “Suwanee” vary, but most believe it to be a Native American word meaning “Shawnee.” The development of Georgia’s railroad in the 1870s caused the population of Suwanee to grow, reaching roughly 215 people in 1880.

    As with many Southern towns, cotton was a critical part of the town’s economic fabric, and Suwanee remained an agricultural-based community well into the 1970s. From 1933 to 1936, the Buford Highway was built and helped funnel still more people into the area. In the 1960s, I-85 was built just south of Suwanee and more non-agricultural businesses began to spring up.

    Since 1970, Suwannee’s population has swelled from 615 to more than 20,000. The town is regularly listed as one of the best places to live because it offers an idyllic small town vibe while also having easy accessibility to downtown Atlanta.

    A few famous individuals who hail from Suwanee include American footballers Cameron Heyward, Will Harris, Mitch Hyatt, Ja’Wuan James, Kevin Minter and Jared Cook.
