Albany, GA – March 22, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

The Law Offices of William F. Underwood announces the launch of a new workers’ compensation website. This site functions to provide updated information for workers in Georgia and information on protecting one’s rights following an injury on the job in Georgia. This is of great importance, as 39,899 indemnity workers’ compensation claims were filed in Georgia in 2015, with another 100,317 medical only claims also filed in the same year. Anyone who has been injured while on the job needs to know their rights and responsibilities in this situation, and this website, along with the services of an experienced workers’ comp lawyer, will be of great help at this time.

“Individuals injured on the job often become frustrated. Many struggle to pay the bills, and some find they must fight their employer to obtain fair compensation for their injuries and time missed from work. Workers’ compensation is designed to help individuals in this situation, but certain steps have to be taken to protect the worker. This site helps to lay out these steps,” Trey Underwood, speaking on behalf of The Law Offices of William F. Underwood, announces.

Workers often believe workers’ compensation is the only way they can hold those accountable for their negligence, yet this isn’t always the case. There are exceptions, particularly when a third-party contributed to the incident in one or more ways. Numerous people don’t know this, thus they don’t get the full compensation they are entitled to. This is one area in which legal representation becomes of great benefit.

“A worker may unintentionally hurt their claim, thus making them ineligible for benefits. For example, the injury must be reported within thirty days or the claim may be denied. Furthermore, when an employee refuses to cooperate with the employer during the process, this can affect the claim and the compensation obtained. An attorney works to ensure the client understands what they must and must not do during this critical time,” Underwood continues.

Another area in which an experienced workers’ compensation attorney will be of help is in determining how much compensation is deserved. People may overlook certain aspects of their case, such as travel costs for medical visits, and the attorney factors these in. Large insurance companies put many challenges and obstacles in the way of employees injured on the job. The attorney works to remove these challenges and obstacles from his or her client.

“Contact us today to discuss your case. We’ll tell you what steps need to be taken immediately to protect your rights. An employer is obligated to provide every worker with a safe environment, and a failure to do so means they can be held accountable for any injuries. We make certain they are,” Underwood states.
