PODCAST #276 Georgia Workers' Compensation Lawyer - Can an employer deny your claim if you only worked three days?

We received a couple of questions I want to try to go through today. And so let's start with the first one. "Can an employer deny your workers compensation playing If you've been on the job for three days?" Well, the short answer is no, they cannot. We've represented people who were injured on the first day literally. Signing the agreement to work with the employer or walking outside of the place where they were signing the documentation and they got hurt. because someone had left the water there. It was in the way. They couldn't avoid it. They slipped they fell. They hurt themselves. Actually, pretty seriously. But if you are an employee and you are in the course and scope of your employment the employer arguably as long as you're an employee, as long as there's insurance and even if there's not insurance you still have a claim that there's other questions about the claim. Such as if there is no insurance does the employer have the money to pay the claim? And so forth. But if you're injured on the job and you're employed you're hired doing what you're supposed to be doing, you're not under the influence of alcohol, you're not under the influence of drugs, you're not horse playing, then you have a claim. And so for them to deny your claim after being at work for only 3 days, you do need to reach out to a workers compensation attorney or Georgia workers compensation attorney because your rights are being denied and you have something that you can try to pursue if that's something you wanna do. Obviously, that's gonna depend on how serious is the injury. If the injury is not that serious, and you can get to work somewhere else. You may wanna move on. If it is serious, you now are looking at possible surgery or you don't know but you can't hardly walk because you've got pain radiating from your back down to your feet or you've got pain radiating from your neck down to your hands, then you're gonna wanna reach out to a Georgia workers compensation attorney.
