Why You Should Choose Bader Law Injury Lawyers to Manage Your Claim
If you have a work-related illness or injury that lasts more than seven days, you can apply for workers’ compensation benefits. The application process can be grueling. It does not have to be one you handle alone.
When you trust our Savannah personal injury lawyers to handle your application or appeal, we will:
- Collect medical evidence that documents your injuries or illness
- Consult relevant experts who document your ability to return to work
- Manage the application process, checking for errors and accuracy
- Negotiate a lump sum workers’ compensation settlement, if available
Our legal service and support mean you can concentrate on recovering your health while we take on all the hard work and details of your claim. You can get workers’ comp benefits regardless of who was at fault for your injuries. If warranted, we also review the cause of your injuries and the possibility of a third-party insurance claim.
It Costs Nothing Out of Your Pocket to Put Our Law Firm to Work for You
Our workers’ compensation lawyers do not ask for a large retainer or charge ongoing hourly fees to represent you. At no upfront cost to you, we cover all of the following:
- Documentation fees
- Expert witnesses
- Evidence collection
- Investigation costs
We accept a percentage of your compensation as our fee and will not charge you anything if you do not get compensation. That means our service is risk-free, and we will fight hard to ensure your best possible recovery.

How Your Temporary Total Disability Rating Effects Your Benefits
A temporary total disability will prevent you from working at all for longer than a week. How your disability is rated is an essential part of getting financial benefits from a workers’ compensation claim. Your degree of impairment affects:
- How long you receive medical care and financial benefits
- The amount of financial compensation you can receive
We work hard to understand your disabling injury or illness, including consulting experts to ensure your rating is accurate. If your condition worsens or does not improve, we will help you have it reevaluated as needed.
At Bader Law Injury Lawyers, we never stop fighting for the benefits you deserve to get the care and compensation you need. Contact our consultation team today to learn more about getting your benefits with the help of our Savannah temporary total disability benefits lawyers.
Medical Benefits You Can Obtain with a Temporary Total Disability Rating
Your employer is required to have workers’ comp if they have three or more regular employees, according to Georgia’s State Board of Workers’ Compensation (SBWC) guidelines. Accordingly, all the medical care you require to treat your injury or illness is covered by your employer’s workers’ comp insurance, including:
- Prescribed medications
- Doctor’s office visits
- Hospital admissions
- Assistive medical devices
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
Our legal team will fight hard for your right to medical care. You are required to receive all medical care from a physician your employer chooses. Failure to do so could mean your medical bills are not covered. We also ensure you understand your obligations to avoid any action threatening your medical coverage.
Compensation You Can Receive for a Temporary Total Disability (TTD) Rating
According to O.C.G.A. § 34-9-261, compensation for a temporary total disability is two-thirds of your average weekly wages. This compensation amount is capped at $675.00 per week.
You can receive this amount for up to 400 weeks from when your injury or illness was diagnosed. You can generally start receiving benefits as soon as 14 days after your disabling condition occurs. The initial payment will include the initial seven-day disability period.
When we represent you, we collect evidence of your usual wages to ensure your wage replacement is correct. We also fight for the best possible settlement if possible.
