Workman's Compensation is the Service That Provides Peace of Mind to Employees and Employers

workers comp attorney Smyrna GA wasn't something I thought about until I had my very first workplace injury a a few months ago. I was taking inventory of the warehouse when it happened. Someone in the other aisle was driving a forklift to place a pallet, and in doing so bumped a box of plastic toys off the shelf. The crate came crashing into my right shoulder. The brunt force smacked me to the concrete hard. Right when I collided with the concrete I grasped something was horribly wrong. The discomfort was sudden and acute. But my thoughts were elsewhere, because as someone lacking health care I assumed I wouldn't be able to afford health care if my employer figured out some method to avoid footing my doctor costs for my newly dislocated shoulder. Let's just say I've never trusted bosses. Luckily, that wasn't a problem. My employer had wisely invested in workman's comp insurance. Basically I had no reason to fret. My health clinic bills were already on their way to being paid. And the best part about having coverage was the insurance company compensated me for lost wages due to my accident.
