Hurt on the Job and Supporting a Family? Here’s What You Need to Know
You’re hurt. You’re worried about work. Your family is counting on you.
I’ve helped many people in your exact situation—delivery drivers, warehouse workers, and others who work hard every day and suddenly find themselves injured, out of work, and unsure what to do next.
If you’re feeling stressed and confused, you are not alone. Let me walk you through what really matters right now.
You do not have to figure this out by yourself
Workers’ comp rules can be confusing. Maybe you’re not sure what to say to your boss. Or you feel like no one is telling you the truth. I’ve had people call me right from their car, just needing someone to explain their rights.
That is what I do. I guide you through each step so you can get the care and support you deserve.
You have the right to medical care and it should be covered
If you were hurt while working, your employer’s insurance should cover treatment. But a lot of people are left guessing:
- Can I see my own doctor?
- What if the company doctor says I’m fine and sends me back to work?
- Who decides when I’m really ready to return?
I make sure your care focuses on your health—not your employer’s convenience.
You may be owed weekly checks while you recover
If you cannot work because of your injury, Georgia law may provide weekly payments to help you stay afloat. Most workers qualify for two thirds of their average weekly pay, up to a set limit.
I help you calculate what you’re owed and make sure those payments are not delayed, underpaid, or denied.
How long will this take?
It depends on your case, but here’s a general idea of what to expect:
- Medical care can begin quickly after your claim is accepted
- Weekly checks usually start within three weeks if you miss more than seven days of work
- Settlements often happen in a few months, but more complex cases can take longer
The key is getting started the right way. I keep things moving, avoid unnecessary delays, and stay on top of the insurance company so you are not left waiting.
Will I lose my job if I file a claim?
I understand the concern. If you are worried about retaliation, losing hours, or being pushed out, I can help protect your rights. We will document everything and make sure your job is not used against you while you recover.
You do not need money upfront
Many of my clients worry they cannot afford a lawyer. But here’s the truth:
- I do not charge anything to talk
- If we work together, I only get paid if you do
- You will always know what to expect—no surprises
I make the process easier so you can focus on healing
You should not have to chase down insurance reps or worry about paperwork while you’re recovering. That is my job.
- I deal with the insurance company
- I handle the forms, the follow-ups, and the phone calls
- You focus on your recovery and your family
Real Results for Real People
A recent client—also a delivery driver—was told his injury did not qualify for workers’ comp. He almost gave up. But we reviewed his case together, and it turned out he had a strong claim.
We got his medical treatment covered, started weekly checks, and secured a fair settlement that gave him peace of mind.
