Does a termination end your workers’ comp claim?  No. In Georgia, a workers’ compensation claim continues even if the injured worker is fired by his or her employer.  If employers could end workers’ comp claims with a quick termination, then on the job accidents would be the death sentence to every job.  Attorney Richard Griffin helps injured workers get their lives back.

Does a termination hurt the value of your workers’ comp claim?  If an injured worker makes terrible decisions after a job termination, then it can damage his or her claim severely.  Employers sometimes harass their injured workers with light-duty jobs that are not within their work limitations.   Unsuitable light-duty work offers aren’t possible if they fire you.  If the workers’ comp insurance company refuses to pay your income benefit check or provide your medical treatment, call attorney Richard Griffin now so we can right this wrong.
