A workplace injury can put your health, income, and future at risk. Whether you were injured on the job at the Savannah Port, in a warehouse in Pooler, or at a downtown restaurant, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation under Georgia law.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured workers in Savannah, Garden City, Port Wentworth, and across Chatham County get the medical care, income support, and legal protection they need. We handle claims, appeals, and everything in between—so you can focus on getting better.
What Does Workers’ Compensation Cover in Georgia?
Georgia requires most employers with three or more workers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If your injury was job-related, you may be eligible for:
- Medical expenses – Including treatment, surgery, rehab, and prescriptions
- Temporary total disability (TTD) – Wage replacement while you’re unable to work
- Temporary partial disability (TPD) – For reduced hours or modified duties
- Permanent partial disability (PPD) – For long-term or lasting impairments
- Mileage reimbursement – For medical-related travel
- Death benefits – For families who lost a loved one due to a job injury
We help you file your claim, protect your rights, and fight denials if the insurance company refuses to pay.
Common Work Injuries We Handle
From construction and port jobs to office work and retail, injuries happen in every industry.
We represent clients with:
- Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Shoulder and knee injuries
- Repetitive motion injuries (e.g., carpal tunnel)
- Machine, forklift, or equipment accidents
- Chemical exposure or burns
- Head trauma and brain injuries
- Fatal accidents (wrongful death claims)
If your injury happened on the job, we’ll make sure you get the treatment and wage benefits you need.
What If Your Claim Was Denied?
Workers’ comp claims are denied more often than you’d think. You may be told:
- You didn’t report the injury in time
- Your injury wasn’t work-related
- You had a pre-existing condition
- You’re “able to return to work” before you’re truly ready
We handle appeals before the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation and make sure your rights are respected every step of the way.
Can You Sue for a Work Injury?
Most workers can’t sue their employer, but you may have a personal injury claim against a third party, like:
- A subcontractor
- A negligent delivery driver
- A defective equipment manufacturer
We evaluate every case for third-party liability and pursue additional compensation when possible.
