How Long Will My Savannah Workers’ Comp Claim Take?

How Long Will My Workers’ Comp Claim Take?

Many clients ask us: “How long will my workers’ comp claim take to resolve?” The short answer is “as long as it takes to get you the maximum recovery.”

If you are injured on the job, your employer may approach you about settling your claim immediately. This is never a good idea: they are trying to limit the amount of your recovery.

An effective workers’ compensation attorney will take every step necessary to make sure that you get all the benefits you are entitled to. This may include sending detailed discovery requests to your Employer to help formulate a winning strategy, having an evidentiary hearing before the State Board of Workers’ Compensation to prove your damages, and changing your authorized treating physician to get you to a doctor that will provide you with the best medical care. All of this takes time, but it is essential to getting you all the benefits that you deserve.

A Georgia workers’ comp claim can take several months (and sometimes even one to years) to resolve completely. You don’t want to rush it. You want to get an aggressive attorney that will do everything to help your claim. Call us today to discuss ways we can maximize your recovery.
