912-208-2992, www.TyWilsonLaw.com Atlanta | Savannah personal injury attorney Ty Wilson discusses if you have to keep the at-fault insurance company up to date of your claim.

Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia personal injury attorney practicing law in the State of Georgia. And our video topic for today is:

Am I required to keep the at-fault insurance adjuster up-to-date on my injuries?

And the answer is “no.” In fact, the reason the insurance company is so aggressive with contacting you and reaching out to you and sending letters to you is they want information from you and they want to help place a value (and hopefully, the most conservative value on your claim after you’ve been injured). And so, when they speak with you about your injuries they want to know: “Is it serious?” “Is it not serious?” “Is it becoming surgical?” And that helps them value their claim.

It is our recommendation that you do not give them any information until you have completed treatment; as you’re not a doctor, you’re not a medical professional. And if you are, you still want to hold back to make sure you know what the full extent of your injuries are. Once you know the full extent of your injuries, I always recommend that you speak with a Georgia personal injury attorney and discuss the possibilities of resolving a claim at that point—but not until then. So I would recommend that you do not contact the at-fault insurance carrier to update them about your injuries.

We hope that you’ve found this information helpful. We hope that you’ll come check out our other videos. And if have any specific questions about your Georgia car wreck claim, please feel free to give us a call. Thank you.

Atlanta Savannah car crash lawyer Ty Wilson discusses how long an adjuster has to settle your Atlanta | Savannah car accident claim?

Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia personal injury attorney practicing law in the State of Georgia and our video topic for today is how long does the adjuster have before they have to settle a claim with anyone who's injured in a car wreck?

Well the short answer is, there is no time limit on them and you must impose a time limit on them. As an attorney we have ways of placing deadlines, that's why it's always recommended you reach out to an Atlanta | Savannah personal injury attorney.
There are cases where sometimes the insurance company may not attempt to settle your injury claim and if that's the case you have certain deadlines in which you have to file certain documents to protect yourself from losing the value of that claim completely and not being allowed to bring that claim forward in the future, it's called a statute of limitations.
Those vary from case to case; the typical statute of limitation in Georgia is 2 years; however that can be tolled under certain circumstances, THEY CAN ALSO BE SHORTER IN CERTAIN INSTANCES so you need to reach out to a Georgia personal injury attorney immediately and find out.
What you don't want to do is hand off your claim with less than 3 months, maybe less than 6 months in some cases before the statute of limitations has run and try to find an attorney. A lot of attorneys are busy; we don't have time to drop everything for your particular case.
Therefore we always recommend that you contact attorneys early so that they can gather and lock down the evidence that is needed for your claim. We hope that you found this information helpful. We hope that you'll come to check out our other videos and if you have any questions please feel free to give us a call. Thank you.

Atlanta | Savannah workers' compensation attorney Ty Wilson discusses how to file a claim for your Georgia workers' compensation claim.

And our video topic for today is how can I file a claim or a workers' compensation claim for a work injury I've had. Well as you know probably from the other videos as soon as you're injured the first thing you need to do is report it to your supervisor or boss and ask them for medical care. If they're not responding it's always a good idea to put it in writing and send it to them and either mail it to them certified-return receipt so you know they've received it or fax it to them with a fax confirmation stating that you have been injured on the job, you're hurt and you need medical care as it relates to your claim. Another way to set up the claim is to look for what is called a posted panel of physicians. Some employers have them, some don't. If your employer does not have a posted panel of physicians also called a list of doctors with which you can see if you're injured on the job or you don't know where to locate them, it's probably a good idea to reach out to an Atlanta, Georgia workers' compensation attorney, speak with them about what your rights are and what would be the next step that would be in your best interest to get the medical care you need. The main thing is you never want a statute of limitations to run in any matter, workers' comp, personal injury, any type of matter and so, if you're anywhere close to the original 1 year from the date of injury and you have not retained an attorney, you do not know if there's a claim set up with the Board, State Board of Workers Comp, you're gonna want to contact the State Board of Workers' Comp and find out. Use their claim and fax setup. They have it based on Social Security numbers if you don't know your claim and you will need to give them that information and they'll look it up. If they do not have a claim setup you can speak with them about setting up a claim. It's what's called filing a WC-14. Uh, it's probably easier to speak with an Atlanta, Georgia workers' compensation attorney than it is to try go it alone as you wanna make sure you fill out the WC-14 properly so that you don't limit your rights in the future. We hope that you've found this information helpful and we hope that you'll come check out our other videos and give us a call if you have any questions. Thank you.

Atlanta | Savannah workers' compensation lawyer Ty Wilson discusses if the employer can terminate you after you get hurt on the job.

I got hurt at work and then I got fired. Can they do that? Can the employer do that? Can they terminate me after I've been injured on the job? Unfortunately, this is something that we're seeing a lot of, and the specifics of if they can or cannot terminate you are really based on what exactly happened. So you'll really want to reach out to a Georgia's workers' compensation attorney because if they fired you, and it can be proven that it was because of your work injury, then you are entitled to income benefits and, of course, medical benefits for your workers' compensation claim.

If they terminate you, and it's for reasons other than your work injury, such as you didn't show up on time, you were belligerent or talked back to a manager and they wrote you up three or four times, or whatever the policy is for the employer, then they arguably do not have to pay you income benefits or weekly checks, but you still have what's considered a medical-only claim where you can get the medical treatment you need as it relates to your injury, but you will not be able to obtain income benefits if the facts show that it was because of you being difficult to your employer that you got terminated. So we hope that you found this helpful, and we hope that you'll come to check out our other videos. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call at 912-208-2992.

Atlanta workers' compensation attorney Ty Wilson discusses if you can I choose to go see your own doctor if you are injured on the job. The short answer on that is it depends. It depends a lot on what your employer has in place. Your employer if he's subject to the act he or she is subject to the act they are required to provide what's called a posted panel of physicians or a list of doctors of medical providers, I'm sorry, that you can treat with if you're injured on the job. If they do not have this in place there is a possibility that you can see the doctors you wish to see however, it would be important that the doctors also accept patients from the workers' compensation system. Workers' compensation does not pay what you or I would pay out of pocket and therefore, they pay a reduced rate and some doctors are not willing to take on the reduced rate fees provided by the fee schedule of the Workers' Compensation Act. It is a highly technical matter if you have any questions it's highly recommended that you speak to an Atlanta, Georgia workers' compensation attorney promptly as control of your medical care is critical in a workers' compensation claim.

What is Workers' Compensation in Georgia? How is it different than personal injury? Atlanta, Georgia workers' compensation lawyer Ty Wilson explains in this short video.

Hello, my name is Ty Wilson. I'm an Atlanta, Georgia workers' compensation attorney practicing law in the State of Georgia and our video topic for today is what is workers' compensation? A lot of people get confused as to if they have a workers' compensation claim and/or a personal injury claim and a workers' compensation claim is when you're injured on the job, doing the job you were hired to do. Therefore if you're hurt while you're working you typically have what is known as a workers' compensation claim. Workers' compensation in Georgia is a no fault system meaning you do not have to prove negligence whereas a personal case you would have to prove negligence. Workers' compensation is designed to provide you medical care and income benefits if you're injured on the job in order to get you back to work and where you were prior to your work injury if at all possible. If you more specific questions about workers' compensation and your claim in particular feel free to give us a call.
