After an accident at work, we come to depend closely on our weekly income benefits. This form of compensation can become as vital as a paycheck in the healing process.
When this money does not come regularly, or in the correct amount, the healing process is halted — anxiety takes over and it becomes hard to focus on important things like getting better. At the Law Office of Jack Clay, LLC, our attorney believes that there are tremendous psychological benefits in handing off these worries and stresses.
In Georgia, in a workers' compensation case, if you have been out of work for seven days or more, you are eligible to receive weekly income benefits, also known as temporary total disability benefits. This payment, however, is not due until 21 days after your injury, but you should receive all of the past due benefits since the date of the injury.
Additionally, if you have missed work due to your on-the-job injury, you are entitled to receive up to two-thirds of your lost wages, subject to a statutory maximum.
