Which White Collar Work Injuries Are Covered by Workers’ Compensation?
In Georgia, workers’ compensation covers a variety of white collar work injuries, as long as the injuries occur in the workplace or as a result of employees conducting work-related activities. There are some exceptions, such as when an employee is under the influence of drugs/alcohol and is injured. If you have questions about your specific situation, we encourage you to contact our Atlanta white collar work injury attorneys for a free consultation.
White collar work injuries that may be covered by workers’ compensation include but are not limited to:
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tendinitis
- Overexertion
- Slip and falls
- Burns
- Broken bones
- Toxic exposure
Depending on the nature and extent of your injuries, you may suffer partial or total disability, which may be either temporary or permanent in nature. In general, this is the primary factor used to determine the amount of workers’ compensation you may receive. That being said, workers’ compensation generally covers the full cost of any medical expenses related to the accident/your injuries, as well as a specific amount of lost earnings.
