Workers Compensation: How to Keep You Safe from Work Injuries

workmans comp attorney Marietta, GA wasn't something I pondered about until my first workplace accident. I was taking inventory of the warehouse when it occurred. A coworker in the other aisle was driving the forklift to place a pallet, and in doing so bumped a box of DVD's off the shelf. The container came crashing into my right shoulder. The brunt force smacked me to the ground hard. As soon as I hit the ground I grasped something was terribly amiss. The agony was sudden and sharp. But my thoughts were elsewhere, because as someone lacking insurance I didn't think I'd be able to pay for health care in case my boss figured out some method to avoid footing my medical costs for my newly injured shoulder. Let's just say I've never had much faith in bosses. Luckily, that wouldn't be a problem. My company had smartly invested in workers comp insurance. So basically I had no reason distrust them. My health clinic bills were soon to be taken care of. I was happy to find out the insurance company would even compensate me for lost hours due to my accident.
