Workers Comp is the Service That Provides Peace of Mind to Employees and Employers

I hadn't really thought much about workers comp lawyer Lithia Springs, GA until a a couple of months ago when I had my very first workplace injury. I was taking inventory of the warehouse when it occurred. A coworker in the opposite lane was using the forklift to place a pallet, and in doing so knocked a box of DVD's off the shelf. The crate came crashing into my right shoulder. The jolt hurled me to the concrete hard. As soon as I collided with the concrete I knew something was horribly wrong. The discomfort was immediate and sharp. But my thoughts were elsewhere, because as a person without health care I assumed I wouldn't be able to afford health care if my employer ascertained some method to get out of paying medical bills for my freshly dislocated shoulder. You can see I've never had much faith in bosses. Luckily, that wouldn't be a problem. As it turned out, my employer had wisely bought workers compensation insurance. Basically I had no rational reason to worry. My hospital bills were soon to be paid. And the greatest part about being covered was the insurance company compensated me for lost wages due to my injury.
