They are often called up to lift and assist patients and, as a result, incur back-related injuries very frequently.
What Are My Rights Under Georgia Workers’ Compensation Laws?
Workers’ compensation is an accident insurance program paid for by your employer. Workers’ compensation benefits/payment may pay for medical care, rehabilitation services (e.g., physical therapy), and loss of income. Workers’ compensation benefits are intended to help you return to work and to compensate (offset losses) your dependents if you die as a result of a job-related injury.
