Workers" Comp For Psychological Injuries

Psychological Injuries On The Job

Yes, all jobs are stressful. There are some careers which have already proved being more stressful than others. When thinking of an on-the-job injury, it’s more likely that you’ll think of physical injuries resulting from accidents, traumatic events or injuries which occur after repetitive movements.

There’s however, another distinct class of injuries which is very serious and is usually the subject of workers’ compensation claims. To have your workers’ compensation claim approved for psychological injury, you’ll need to ultimately prove that you job did cause high stress, damage and even depression.

Work-related psychological injuries may develop in diverse ways and for numerous reasons though, the subsequent compensation claims can be difficult. Ailments of psychological nature qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. It could be the result of work-related issues, including issues with the manager and private life issues such as an aftermath of assault or robbery.

The rules for workers’ compensation with regard to psychological injuries can be slightly stricter than those of other ailments. You’ll find some attorneys unwilling to represent their clients for such claims considering how difficult they can be. That doesn’t imply that you’ll probably not get any help.

There are still those attorneys who are always willing and able to represent their clients even with the greatly complex claims. There’re those who’ve adequate experience to handle your claim suitably diligently, while well sensitive to what your needs and concerns are.

What Psychological Injuries Can You Claim?

Usually, a psychological injury will occur when you’ve experienced psychological stress or trauma, commonly associated with physical trauma. Among injuries which can be claimed, some include depression, anxiety, ulcers and heart diseases that have been caused by work-related stress. Some however, can’t be claimed, including mental trauma and nervous breakdowns.

Mental trauma is often caused by workplace injuries where the injured worker is in lots of pain and consequently unable to work. Still yet, there’re some instances in which an injury could be the result of depression, and this may be covered so long as the work injury is a reasonably contributing factor in the mental illness. However, the state legislature barely allows for covering of nervous breakdowns under workers’ compensation.

Psychological Injuries Connected to Workplace Accidents

Often, a psychological injury will arise from physical injuries which have occurred on the job. Should a worker sustain a severe injury, it could have multiple effects on their life. Such effects could trigger anxiety, chronic depression, or related mental conditions. These effects may include frustration, severe physical pain, permanent scarring, or change in appearance.

In addition, undergoing treatment for a physical injury, and psychological injury as well, can prove mentally and financially taxing. This could postpone a return to one’s work. Workers ought to recover, not only for their on-the-job physical injuries, but also for any subsequent mental conditions developed due to the accident.

Benefits With Psychological Injuries Cases

In case your claim is approved, it’s highly probable that you’ll receive benefits covering your medical treatment costs and the wages you’ve lost from the time you were prompted to take off-work. Benefits for permanent disability due to mental conditions are rare to quite a great extent. Proving that a psychological injury has left you unable to function permanently in a workplace could require quite a reasonable, extensive amount of complicated evidence.

An attorney however, is more likely to have resources necessary to obtain testimonies from psychological experts who could attest to the fact you’re not able to work. You’ll stand the best chance of acquiring the benefits if you’ve an attorney who well understands how the workers’ compensation law works.

The law surrounding psychological injury claims is complex when saying the least. There are some which you can’t claim, while yet there are others you can. Obviously, no one expects that you understand the ins and outs of workers’ compensation laws. That is the most definite reason why work injury attorneys are available. Basically, a work injury lawyer will assist by assessing your case and determining whether or not your psychological injuries can be claimed.

Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation does provide you with financial assistance in overcoming the kind of illness in this case. It may pay for any lost wages, especially if you’ve had to take some time off work, and therapy and/or counselling costs. It may meet the medication cost you’d need to pay to help alleviate symptoms of your mental illness.

If you’re among those who believe they’re entitled to benefits because of work-related psychological injuries, it’d be best to discuss your situation with an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer, and as soon as possible.

In order to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits, you must be an “employee,” with two limited exceptions. Crewmembers on vessels and interstate railroad workers are ineligible for workers’ compensation benefits. If those types of employees get injured on the job, federal law requires them to sue their employers instead of receiving workers’ compensation benefits. For most other workers, their eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits is based on whether they are employees or independent contractors.

Repetitive Strain Injuries

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), repetitive strain injuries are the nation’s most common and costly occupational health problem, affecting hundreds of thousands of American workers and costing more than $20 billion a year in workers’ compensation costs. In the past, if an injury didn’t result from an accident, there was no workers’ compensation claim. Those days are gone and now it is understood that cumulative trauma injuries and occupational injuries that develop over time are eligible for workers’ compensation. Even if an injury cannot be tied to a single event, workers’ compensation benefits can be claimed.

What Does Workers’ Compensation Provide For?

Workers in Georgia are ensured and are entitled with workers’ compensation when they are hurt while at work. Aside from the cash benefit they would get for assistance, there are other different types of benefits an injured worker or employee.

What Does Workers’ Compensation Provide For?

An employee’s benefits refers to the compensation to supplement the wages or salaries. Some of these includes life insurance, sick and paid leave, housing, profit sharing, child care benefits, bonuses, life insurance, medical and dental insurance, retirement plan, and short-term and long-term disability insurance.

An injured worker is covered by workers’ compensation which includes medical treatment with the expenses shouldered by the employer or the company’s insurance. The types of cash benefits one could get are Total Temporary Disability (TTD), Total Partial Disability (TPD), and Permanent Partial Disability (PPD), these are effective when the employee misses work due to injury or permanently injured. The cash benefit one could get depending on what type of disability the worker has, and the amount may vary on the average weekly wage, and other figures including salary, hourly pay, tips, meal allowances, lodging allowances, clothing allowances, and year-end bonuses. But still depending on how much the employee have worked in the 13 weeks before the injury, then all of the figures will be calculated.

Furthermore, medical/health insurance will provide you medical care and rehabilitation to help you get return to work. An employee may choose with the list of certified doctors that their employer has posted, that is to ensure the effectiveness of the doctor who will attend and provide you the right treatment for your injury. And your accredited doctor bills, hospital bills, prescriptions, therapy, and necessary travel expenses will be shouldered if the injury was caused by an accident while the employee is on the job or on duty.

An employee is also entitled for a weekly income benefits if the employee has missed work for more than seven days due to an injury, and the first check should be mailed within twenty-one (21) days after the first day the employee missed work. This is to assist the injured employee’s financial needs while he is recovering the accident or injury.

Starting the Workers’ Compensation Process

If you’ve been injured at work or are suffering from a work-related illness, you may qualify for Workers’ Compensation Benefits. There are specific procedures that you must go through in order to be considered for Workers’ Compensation benefits.

The first step to receiving benefits is to file your claim. The process for filing varies from state to state, so it’s important to know the process in your home state.

At least in the state of Georgina, if you do not file a claim within 30 days of the initial injury, then it could result in a denial of your claim.

When to File for Workers’ Comp

In a perfect world, your claim would be filed immediately after your injury, but not all injuries are not that obvious. Sometimes you may not know what happened and you have pain a few days later. In these situations, it can sometimes be difficult to prove your case. This is when some people are forced to get an attorney.

Providing Notice of an Injury or Illness

You must notify your employer that you’ve suffered a work-related injury or illness, as it is the first step to initiating a Workers’ Compensation claim. The employer will have you fill out forms to be submitted to the insurance company. Some state define a clear time-frame for notifying your employer, while others state that it should be done as soon as possible.

If you live in a state where the Workers’ Compensation claims are handled by a state agency, you must provide notice to the state agency that you intend to file a Workers’ Compensation claim.

Next Steps in Workers’ Compensation Process

Once you’ve notified your employer and completed the necessary insurance paperwork, the insurance company will conduct an investigation. You may be asked to provide witness statements and wage verification at some point. It’s important that you get the information to them as soon as possible to prevent a delay in your benefits.

You may also need to go to arranged doctor’s appointments and have different tests completed as part of the investigation. Even if you’ve already sought medical treatment on your own, the insurance carrier may require an independent assessment of your condition from another doctor.

If you need help understanding Workers’ Compensation process in Georgia, contact Bobe and Snell Workers’ Compensation Attorneys.

Statute of Limitations in Georgia Workers’ Compensation

The term, “statute of limitations” refers to the amount of time in which you have to file something, whether it be a police report or a lawsuit. It’s easy to remember by it’s abbreviation…SOL….because once the statute of limitations runs out, that’s exactly what you are.

Workers’ Compensation is no different. There’s a statute of limitations for almost everything related to the claim. There are two different types of statutes of limitations in Georgia Workers’ Compensation: the all issues SOL and the change in condition SOL.

All Issues Statute of Limitations

When you first get injured at work, the all issues statute of limitations applies. The all issues statute only applies if the employer isn’t currently paying weekly income benefits. Even if the employer is paying for medical treatment currently, if they are not paying income benefits, the all issues statute still applies.

Three measuring periods encompass the all issues statute of limitations:

1) One year from the date of injury. This is not the same as one year from the date of accident. This means the clock for the statute of limitations starts ticking once the injury manifests itself.

2) One year from the last medical treatment paid for by the employer. Every time you go to the doctor to receive treatment, the statute restarts.

3) Two years from the last payment of weekly income benefits.  If you received weekly income benefits from the employer, you have two years from that last payment to file your claim. Every time you receive a payment, the statute restarts.

In the event of an occupational disease, you have one year from the date you became aware you had the disease to file a claim. You have a maximum of seven years from the last time you were exposed to this material to file a claim. So if your symptoms manifest more than seven years after the exposure, you cannot file a claim.

Change in Condition Statute of Limitations

Under Georgia law, a change of condition is defined as ” “a change in the wage-earning capacity, physical condition, or status of an employee or other beneficiary covered by this chapter, which change must have occurred after the date on which the wage-earning capacity, physical condition or status of the employee or other beneficiary was last established by award or otherwise.” The injured worker has two years from the date of the last income benefit payment or four years from the last PPD payment to file a claim for change in condition.

How Long Does a Workers’ Compensation Claim Take?

It’s important that when you do something, that you do it right the first time.  This is why you don’t want to rush your Workers’ Compensation claim.

The amount of time that it takes to go through a Workers’ Compensation depends on the nature of the case. For example, a claim for a finger laceration can be a lot less time than a low back injury.

An injured worker has 30 days to initially report their injury, so if the injured worker waits, the claim has already been delayed. It’s important to file your claim as soon as you’re injured to get the process started. The sooner your file your claim, the sooner it can be settled.

How long will my claim take to get accepted?

According to the law of the state of Georgia, the insurance company has 21 days to investigate your claim. They will accept or deny your claim at that point. This is the norm, but there are exceptions to every norm. Sometimes the insurance company can take up to six months or more to investigate and accept or deny the claim. If the insurance company takes longer than three weeks to investigate and make a decision on your claim, it’s advised that you seek a consultation with a Georgia Workers’ Compensation attorney to protect your rights.

How long it takes for a non-litigated case depends on the injury and whether or not light duty is available. If it’s a minor injury and light duty is available, then the claim may only take several weeks from beginning to end. If it’s a more complicated injury like a fracture or a herniated disc and light duty isn’t available, then the claim could take several months or more.

If a claim is contested or litigated, then it could extend the shelf life of the claim by anywhere from a few months. If an Independent Medical Examination is warranted, then it could be a few month’s wait until the injured worker is able to see the doctor.  The ligation could take anywhere from 8 to 12 months. The trial itself is spread out over the course of several months, and can be quite exhaustive.

After the claim is settled, it can be a few months before you receive your settlement benefits. The attorney should constantly be reminding about payment if 14 days have gone by since the settlement award has been issued and no payment has been made.

There are cases when an injured worker is permanently and totally disabled. In this case, their claim never really ends because they will always have some sort of medical treatment. Especially in these cases, it’s important to have an attorney that you can trust like Bobe and Snell.

Workers" Comp: Employers" Responsibilities

In most states, employers are required to purchase insurance for their employees from a workers’ compensation insurance carrier. In some states, larger employers who are clearly solvent are allowed to self-insure, or act as their own insurance companies, while smaller companies (with fewer than three or four employees) are not required to carry workers’ compensation insurance at all. When a worker is injured, his or her claim is filed with the insurance company, or self-insuring employer, who pays medical and disability benefits according to a state-approved formula. Unless they fall within limited, exempt categories, employers without workers’ compensation insurance are subject to fines, criminal prosecution, and civil liability

Workers" Comp: Employers" Responsibilities

Medical Benefits Attorney

A common misconception is that states pay out workers’ compensation benefits when, in fact, it is private insurance companies. Employers are required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover employees in case they are injured on the job. Much like personal auto or fire insurance claims, workers’ compensation claims are handled by an adjuster from the insurance company and the company pays out any benefits.

Read These Tips To Find The Right Lawyer For You.

There are many instances when a lawyer might be necessary. If you have not hired a lawyer before, things can quickly become overwhelming. There are quite a few items to keep in mind, including payment structures, communication, and more. The following tips will help you learn what sorts of things to expect with regards to lawyers.

Don’t choose the first lawyer you find. Your research needs to be done well, because you’ll have to pay dearly if you don’t do it. Speak to others and see what you can figure out about lawyers that interest you.

Always request information related to fees when hiring a lawyer. Not all lawyers cost the same and their fees can differ significantly. You want to be aware of how much you are going to spend upfront. You don’t want to hire an attorney who you are not going to be able to afford.

Why not have a lawyer ready to go in case something happens by putting one on retainer? By having a lawyer on retainer, you will not have to spend time finding an attorney should an issue arise. If you have an attorney on retainer, you’ll have someone to turn to for expert advice.

Before looking for a lawyer, define your question. The first step is to figure out if you actually require a lawyer. You will need an attorney if you’re going through a divorce, are being sued, or you are charged with criminal activity. Even though one of these subjects may not apply to you, it is still good to have a lawyer you can speak with regarding financial or business problems.

While it may seem like hiring a lawyer that’s a specialist can be a waste of your money, it may not be after all is said and done. They’ll take less time to complete your case than a general lawyer would, thanks to all the learning he’d have to do at your expense.

You should be prepared for exactly what occurs when you do hire an attorney. Be sure and implement the tips mentioned earlier the next time you need a lawyer. It’s good advice and it will allow you to have a less stressful experience that goes smoothly.

Sometimes a work-related injury will support both a workers compensation claim and a personal injury action. Within the context of workers’ compensation, when it is said that a workers compensation insurer has placed a “lien” on a file, it means that they have registered a claim to be reimbursed out of the proceeds of the personal injury litigation for certain expenditures they made on behalf of the injured worker.
