When it comes to insurance payments, there are always discrepancies in the amount that is due for the insurance company to pay. There are always arguments and counterarguments on the payment of insurance claims. This is because the insurance company seeks to maximize its profit.
For a worker that got injured on the job, the insurance company is obliged to pay him/ her a certain amount weekly. But how much really? This post is based on the laws of Gerogia, Atlanta.
By law, a staff that is recovering from injury and has not resumed work is entitled to two thirds of the staff' s average weekly wage. But as things stand now, the insurance company has to pay you $525 per week irrespective of your normal weekly wage. There are special conditions though.
For instance, if you average $300 a week for 13 weeks before the injury, you are entitled to two third of your normal pay. If you on the other hand average more than $600 a week, you are entitled to nothing more than $525 a week while you are recovering from the injury. A higher pay leads to a flat rate of injury claims per week while a lower pay leads to two-thirds of your normal pay as injury claims.
