Super-Added Workers' Comp Injuries

Macon County Super Added Workers' Comp Attorney

If someone suffers an injury on the job, restricted physical use of a limb or other body part can cause an overuse or overcompensation somewhere else on your body. For example, you injure your right arm and begin using your left to more, or a back injury creates nerve damage in your lowers legs due to changes in mobility.

These related injuries can further complicate someone's physical and financial well-being. For those with an existing workers compensation claim on the original injury, these "super-added injuries" are also covered under workers' comp benefits.

Unfortunately, companies and their insurance carriers often fail to mention the additional coverage available to many injured workers.

If you were injured on the job, you may also suffer from related injuries. Protect your right to receive additional workers' compensation benefits for these injuries. Contact a Georgia disability benefits attorney at Nelson & Smith, LLC today.

Nelson & Smith, LLC, we provide guidance through the often bewildering workers' compensation process for workers throughout Middle Georgia. When workers suffer additional injuries directly related to existing injuries they have already have a workers' comp benefits claim for, they may be entitled to have these "super-added injuries" covered as well. We work to see that all of your injuries are considered when evaluating your eligibility for injured workers rights and benefits.

Our goal is to obtain proper medical treatment for the additional injuries and see that workers' compensation pays for the treatment. Job inquiries into this type of injury are rare and many workers simply are not aware that they are covered. As such, it is important to report them to a doctor immediately. It is also critical that you notify the attorney handling your claim as well as the workers' comp insurance company providing your benefits.
