Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/16/2015 -- In Georgia, worker's compensation is a form of insurance that is a legal requirement for any employer managing more than two employees. However, more often than not, worker's compensation does not properly compensate employees that have been injured while working. Right now, Darwin F. Johnson, lead partner at the Law Offices of Darwin F. Johnson, is weighing in on the true cost of workplace injuries.

Workplace injuries incur a lot of medical bills. This is especially true in the case of catastrophic injuries where intensive medical care and rehabilitation is needed. At the same time, victims of workplace injuries must consider future costs of medical treatments, rather than just the initial treatments; any physical therapy or rehabilitation should be included in the sum of medical expenses. Under Georgia law, individuals are legally entitled to worker's compensation for certain injuries, including traumatic head injuries, head, neck, spine and back injuries, injuries to joints like knees or shoulders, broken bones and even carpal tunnel syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome.

Darwin F. Johnson advises individuals that medical bills are only part of the compensation being awarded from a worker's compensation case. Worker's compensation must also consider the change in lifestyle that a victim of a workplace injury must deal with. In the cases of catastrophic and traumatic injuries, injured individuals may never be able to return to their line of work. Even in the cases where individuals can return to their jobs eventually, worker's compensation must consider the time that they have missed during the treatment and recovery process.

Worker's compensation insurance is often issued to an employee through their employer's insurance company. Claims specialists from these insurance companies are trained to act in the best interests of their insurance company. Darwin F. Johnson advises individuals that, if they want the most out of their worker's compensation case, they should obtain strategic and aggressive legal representation from the Law Offices of Darwin F.
