There are many instances in life that we can’t plan for, such as the unexpected loss of a loved one because of a tragic accident, or facing an accident ourselves that will leave us struggling to maintain our lives with the same quality and standard of living.
One day we could just be at the mall shopping, and slip on a wet patch of floor that will change our bodies and thus our lives forever. Or we could get injured at work and permanently lose productivity over the course of the rest of our life, simply because the injury resulted in long term disability. In fact, many people in Georgia have to wake up every day to face hazardous work conditions, such as those in the manufacturing or assembly sector, delivery truck drivers and commercial transportation drivers, construction site workers, oil refinery workers, chemical plant employees, those in the logging industry and even food processing workers.

If you slip and fall, often your care will be directed through your company’s worker’s compensation firm. These companies don’t actually have an interest in your recovery. They have an interest in keeping your company staffed and their bottom line intact. You soon find out this inconvenient lesson after you’ve been hurt, in the form of tedious forms, ridiculous guideline and rules, and repeated, almost harassing calls while you are at home recovering.
Everyday someone from your workman’s compensation company will call telling you what new medical document you need to obtain, what they aren’t willing to cover or to second guess you and your doctor on how well you are healing. It can be a nightmare trying to deal with them.
Worse still, there are some kinds of injury associated with your slip and fall that are very real and result in tremendous pain, yet they have workarounds to avoid paying your claim for them. These can include attempts to minimize the effect of a muscle injury, because these are hard to see on an X-ray or other type of medical film, but permanent damage can be sustained by the muscle, leading to loss of use.
They will often tell you that you are on your own with regard to mental health benefits as well, but there is very real mental and emotional fallout that comes with losing a limb or its function due to a falling accident, much less with losing a measure of the quality of your life as a result of a long term disability. Injurious overuse of one’s body can also result from heavy physical labor, or even from just small repetitive movements.
