Amputation: A Catastrophic Injury under Georgia Workers’ Compensation
Because amputation is such a serious injury, you will likely be eligible for disability benefits under Georgia workers’ compensation laws. These disability benefits can cover both partial or total disability. If your amputation or resulting complications make it impossible for you to work at all, then you can receive benefits equal to 2/3 of your weekly wages up to $500 per week. If your amputation or resulting complications reduce your earning power, such as by requiring you to change jobs, you should receive a portion of the difference between what you earned before and what you earn after the amputation.
Typically, disability benefits will end in Georgia after 400 weeks of benefits. However, amputation can be considered a catastrophic injury. This means that you could potentially receive ongoing disability benefits for the rest of your life. To learn more about qualifying for permanent benefits or for help in proving that your injury should be classified as catastrophic, consult with an experienced Cumming, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Lawyer.
