I am grateful to have been elected as the President of the Georgia Injured Workers‘ Advocates (GIWA) for the next two years. My position gives me the opportunity to work with legislators and stakeholders to ensure that the rights of workers in Georgia are protected. In this blog, I will share my insights on why it’s important to be at the forefront of this movement and fight for the rights of injured workers.

 

At GIWA, we strive to stay ahead of the changing landscape of the Georgia Workers’ Compensation system. We work actively with the state legislature to ensure that laws protect the rights of injured workers. We also monitor the insurance industry’s actions, scrutinize their policies, and advocate for changes that benefit injured workers. As a result, GIWA has successfully impacted several bills in Georgia that protect their rights from insurance companies’ unfair practices. Visit GIWA’s website to learn more about what we do for workers in Georgia.

 

One of the biggest challenges is that insurance companies employ strong lobbying efforts in an effort actively to cut costs and save money. This jeopardizes their ability to receive medical care and lost wages. Insurance companies routinely deny claims and drag out the process, causing significant financial and personal stress for injured workers and their families. As advocates, we aim to fight against these practices and ensure that all injured workers receive the medical care they need and deserve.

 

Our Experienced Workers’ Compensation Team at Rohan Law know firsthand that Injured workers face many challenges when it comes to obtaining their rights under the law. The Workers’ Compensation system is inherently complex, and insurance companies can use this complexity to their advantage. They use their legal and financial strength to intimidate injured workers, who are often unfamiliar with the legal system. Our Workers’ Compensation Attorneys aim to bridge this gap by educating injured workers about their rights and helping them navigate the system.

 

                                                                      

 

As advocates for injured workers, we must also work to raise public awareness about the challenges they face and how they impact the community as a whole. Workers who are hurt on the job often find it challenging to speak out about their experiences, but it’s crucial that their stories are told. It’s up to us to help workers break the stigma surrounding workplace injuries and educate the community about their struggles.

 

In conclusion, the work we do as advocates for injured workers is crucial to protect their rights. We are commited to reach a level the playing field for them so they can receive the compensation they deserve. Our work also benefits the community as a whole by creating a safer workplace environment and holding insurance companies accountable for their actions.
