Tab Commerce is pioneering the first corporate card built specifically for restaurants, tackling the complex back-office operations of a traditionally low-margin industry. With $4 million in funding, Tab is creating a comprehensive spend management platform that addresses the unique challenges restaurant operators face. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I spoke with Ty Wilson, CEO and Co-Founder of Tab Commerce, to learn how his family restaurant background and pandemic-era insights led to building a fintech company that's transforming restaurant profitability through better spend management. Topics Discussed: Tab Commerce's evolution from supply chain solution to specialized corporate card for restaurants The complex, fragmented nature of restaurant back-office operations and purchasing How Tab is growing through strategic industry association partnerships The challenges of distribution and relationship-building in the restaurant technology space Tab's vision to become the standard commerce layer for the $1.5 trillion restaurant supply chain GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Study success relentlessly: Ty shared he constantly goes deep on companies he admires, calling it "one of the best uses of my time." He studies everything from their podcasts to press materials, which directly inspired Tab's corporate card product after researching Ramp. B2B founders should identify "company crushes" and systematically analyze their business models, marketing strategies, and product innovations for applicable insights. Vertically-focused products win over horizontal solutions: Tab recognized that generic spend management tools don't work for restaurants' unique workflows. "Every vertical will have their own spend management platform because every vertical has their own workflows and needs and go-to-market strategies," Ty explained. B2B founders should embrace deep vertical specialization rather than building generic solutions, as vertical focus builds immediate trust with customers who want industry-specific solutions. Strategic industry associations can solve distribution challenges: Unlike conventional digital marketing tactics which failed ("LinkedIn ads... doesn't work at all"), Tab found success by partnering with restaurant industry associations. Ty relocated his office to be five minutes from the Texas Restaurant Association and co-branded a card with them. For B2B founders targeting fragmented industries, leveraging established industry groups can provide credibility, access to engaged audiences, and cost-effective distribution channels. Relationship-based sales beats transactional approaches: In an era of increasingly transactional software sales, Tab deliberately built a relationship-focused sales organization. "Software sales has become super transactional. And I think that's hurt industries like restaurants and other brick and mortar businesses because they're very relationship based," Ty noted. B2B founders should consider whether their target market responds better to high-touch, relationship-driven sales approaches rather than modern, low-touch methods. Discover "landmines" through persistent market testing: Ty revealed it took over two and a half years to gain meaningful traction, during which they encountered numerous "landmines" – seemingly intuitive product ideas that actually failed in practice. For example, they initially tried to digitize chef-supplier ordering before realizing the existing phone/text workflow was actually more efficient. B2B founders should rigorously test assumptions and be prepared to pivot from apparently obvious solutions that the market rejects. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co

Hello, Ty Wilson here. We're answering a couple of questions that we've received over the last couple of weeks. This question is, "I have a case currently. I was on work restrictions. So, sounds like a work injury, and my supervisor made me work full duty regardless am I liable for that." I'm not sure I understand the whole, "Am I liable for that?" But if you are on medical restriction from a work injury claim and the employer put you to full duty the question is in those job duties can you complete or do the job duties that you have to do for your employer if you can that's fantastic. Noove forward if it's aggravating your injury "Need to return back to your what they call authorized treating physician." Mainly your main doctor in your work injury claim. And let them know you're having issues And if you know specifically what you're doing that aggravates the injury. You wanna tell the doctor that. They will adjust your restrictions. Now, take that back to the employer. The employer may say the same thing. "Hey! I don't care." "Full duty or you go home." If you are sent home because you cannot do full duty well then they may have to pay you a weekly checks in your workers compensation claim. Now, something to seek but something to back you up. And so something to think about. if you have any questions you always wanna reach out to a Georgia workers compensation attorney. Just speak with them about the claim doesn't mean you have to retain them. We speak to a lot of people and I would say the vast majority of them we do not retain. But we do try to find out where their claim is let them know what possible problems there are issues they could run into with their claim. And what might be the best move moving forward. We hope this information has been helpful. We will see you on the next video CALL US ► 912-208-2992TEXT US ► 912-233-1100EMAIL US ► Ty@TyWilsonLaw.com • Website• Facebook• Pinterest
Hello. Ty Wilson. Georgia workers compensation attorney here. And we're answering questions today. Snd so, our question today is, What if I was injured in Georgia but now I live in Alabama? Do I still have a workers compensation claim? And the short answer is, yes. A lot of what determines where you can file your claim is where were you hired. And so, reach out to Georgia workers compensation attorney and speak with them. Give them details of where were you hired were you hired in Georgia and were you hired just to work in Georgia and then you got injured in Georgia now you've just moved right over the State Line to Alabama or was it something else where you always lived in Alabama you were working in Georgia. You signed a contract to only work in Alabama and you just happen to have one job over there in Georgia. So then you may have an Alabama claim. And so, if you were in the course and scope of your employment certainly you have a Georgia claim if you were injured in the state of Georgia. The bigger question is what does the employment agreement say as far as where you're working or are you a long road trucker and you're gonna work in contiguous United States? And so, the details are what matters the facts to help determine if in fact you are entitled to Georgia workers compensation coverage to help pay for your medical care even if you live out of state. That is something that I know that the adjusters are not crazy about in Georgia because if they're paying for medical care out of state they typically don't have a good understanding of are these doctors conservative are these doctors not conservative. Adjusters like to give the medical care get medical care for the injury worker with very very conservative doctors if they can. It tends to keep the medical cost down and at the end of the day this is about money for the insurance companies. I hope this information's been helpful. Reach out to a Georgia workers compensation attorney. Find out what your rights are and stay safe!

Look, Ty Wilson here. I'm Georgia Workers Compensation attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. and our video topic for today is choke points and what we mean by choke points are. What are some of the things in workers compensation claims that can cause unnecessary delay denial, frustration what have you? And so, when someone first gets injured on the job one of the most important things they can do at that point in time is provide notice to their employer that they've been hurt and that they like medical care for their injury. So, that is a choke point. If you don't give them notice currently within 90 days well they can deny the claim and the courts will support them in that decision. And so, it's critical that you file the workers compensation claim with your boss and or supervisor who may send you to HR may handle it themselves but you tell them head to toe everything that feels funny or different as a result of the injury. and make sure that you are explaining what your injuries are so that they can investigate it. If it's a very serious injury, well, you may be carted off by ambulance and then you wanna contact your employer by telephone if they're not there in the hospital which they may or may not be and you wanna just let them know, "Obviously I was heard at work I'm gonna need medical care." And then once you are released from the hospital, they will set you up with the medical care. Choosing of the doctors, that is another choke point. What is supposed to happen? Is the employer is supposed to have something called a posted panel of physicians? There are multiple versions of a posted panel of physicians there is what we call the traditional. There are multiple forms with as little as six doctors and as many as a managed care organization which is like a telephone book of doctors. And so, and there's in between. And so, there are many different forms of opposed to panel physicians this is why it's very important that upon being injured you speak to your employer and you say, "Look, I've been hurt. I need to get care for my injuries this is a work injury claim." If they refuse at that point in time you really need to reach out to counsel, legal counsel and speak to a workers compensation attorney...CALL US ► 912-208-2992TEXT US ► 912-233-1100EMAIL US ► Ty@TyWilsonLaw.com • Website• Facebook• Pinterest

Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. And today we're talking about deposition preparation and some helpful information. And we're going to really cover today what you should not do if you're in a deposition. And we're going to start off by talking about answering the questions. You want to answer the questions that they ask, not the questions you think they want to know, the questions that they ask. And so what does that require? Well, that requires that you listen completely and attentively to the person who's asking the questions, which is going to be the opposing attorney. You want to listen, understand what they're saying. And if you don't understand, you want to ask. I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase it? They will happily rephrase it. If they cannot rephrase it appropriately even your counsel may step in, as I've done in several cases. And so I think what they're asking you is to get clarification. The most important thing is that you understand what it is that you are asking under oath prior to the deposition, you're going to be sworn under oath. Everything you say will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And so that is something that is very important. It's very critical. And so you do not want to guess. You do not want to mislead. You do not want to lie, you want to be Truthful. And you want to get through the deposition as quickly as possible. Some other notes that we've made is, you don't want to talk endlessly. So when they ask you a question, you want to answer that question and answer that question only. You don't want to dance around it. If they say, Tell us where you live. “123 Main street, Nowheresville, Georgia. 3000. Not the address. It's a Ranch style house, all brick all around. I've got a little Creek that runs in the backyard. Our neighbors are really great in that neighborhood.” No, answer the question, the question only. If they ask you where you live. The better answer actually is Nowheresville. Georgia, what is your address? Make them ask you the specifics that they're looking for. If they don't, that's on them. That's not on you. Don't volunteer. You're there because you're required to be there. You're not there because that other attorney is your buddy.

So what can you expect at a workers compensation settlement mediation? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia Workers compensation attorney. Our question is, what can I expect at my settlement mediation for workers compensation station? Well, hopefully you're going through this with an attorney. If not, you want to consider one. That attorney is going to help you maximize what recovery you could have in a settlement mediation. But it goes really before that, it goes into who are you treating with? Where is your care at? Have you used your one-time IME? Are you getting paid properly? These are things that the attorneys check and try to position the claim in the best light for you as the injured worker. But as to the settlement mediation itself, the goal at a settlement mediation is to settle your claim. If you have an attorney, they will go there with you, whether it's Zoom or in person. And then you will have the opposing attorney and you will have what is called a neutral mediator. There are different ways to do settlement mediations. There are private mediations where you have a private mediator, and then there is mediators provided by the Georgia State Board of Workers Compensation. Both of them are highly successful. And so that is not critical, whether it's private or whether it's through the board. The board encourages settlement as it helps reduce the case load and helps people move on their way and close claims. And so it's in everybody's best interest when you get to that point that the claim does settle. And so what is it that happens? Well, there's a couple of different ways that we've seen the mediators handle these. And I'm going to refer to in person, and then I'll back up and we'll cover Zoom mediations, which is obviously something that has developed ever since COVID. And so back prior to COVID, everyone would meet at the mediation office. Let's say at the state Board of Workers Compensation, everybody would meet in a conference room and it would be opposing counsel may be a representative from the employer. They're certainly able to show. And then your attorney yourself and the neutral mediator. We'd all get in the same room. Mediator would start and say a little bit about the mediation process and the fact that it's confidential and the fact that you cannot use any of this information to subpoena or pull somebody into a deposition for a hearing down the road. If the case does not settle on that particular day, it is like the mediation never occurred and you move on with your claim, same thing with the employer insurer. They move on with doing whatever it is that they're trying to do with the claim. So from that point on, your attorney will say some things on your behalf or you will if you don't have an attorney. And then the employer insurer attorney will say some things on the employer insurer's behalf and then the groups will separate. Typically, the mediator will go with the employer insurer, because typically, that's when they're seeking the initial offer from the employer insurer. If you're represented by my office, we send a demand ahead of time. So we started off the process with a number. They come back with a number and we're usually up here. They're usually down here and we go back and forth, back and forth, not necessarily in the middle. But we go back and that's the negotiation of the mediation. At some point in that mediation, you will come to a number where the opposing attorney will say, this is my limit of authority. This is all I have. Authority is a fancy word for money that the insurance company has allowed this attorney to try to settle this case with.

I'm a Georgia worker's compensation attorney, and our question today is, what if you're fired during your workers' compensation claim in Georgia? There are questions that I would have for you as far as how did the termination happen? Were you terminated because they could not accommodate you because of your injuries? And they told you just to go home. And they just said, you know what? This isn't going to work out. We have a construction job. We need you 100%. You hurt your back, we cannot have you back. So we're just going to part ways and they terminate you. Well, if that's how it happened. Good news. You should still get income benefits as long as you're not full duty, meaning weekly checks and still get medical care as it relates to your claim. And so that type of termination will not have a devastating effect on you. Obviously, if you can't go back to the work physically that you were able to do, then you're going to need to look for work at some point once you're physically able to do so down the road. Now, how does that situation change and make it unfavorable to you? Well, if you go back to work, they return you back to work. And we had one individual who was set up by several guys. They started messing with him, calling him names, pushing his buttons, and he lost it, and Lo and behold, right as he lost it. Someone managed to video him getting upset, making outrageous statements. Some included threats, just very angry at the situation. Provoked but nobody showed the provocation or the guys were provoking. But it was five of them. And basically what they single handedly did is they got him terminated for reasons completely unrelated to his work injury. So what does that do? Well, that gives the employer and the insurance company the opportunity to stop the weekly income benefits. And that can be devastating to your claim. You still arguably have medical care as it relates to your claim. And so your claim would be deemed a medical only claim moving forward. But without those income benefits, that can be detrimental, especially if you are physically unable to work or in a very light duty capacity where it will be very difficult to obtain work readily available.And so that is the distinction. The distinction really is based upon where you terminated for your work injury or because of your work injury. Were you terminated for reasons unrelated to your work injury. And so if you return back to work, you really want to talk to a Georgia workers compensation attorney. If you have one, you talk to your attorney. If you don't have an attorney, you want to reach out, we give free consultations all the time. And a lot of the callers that we speak with, we do not represent and never will it just depends on where their case is. A lot of people are just calling to try to get information, and that's one of the reasons we have attempted to address this in this video. So it's critical that you understand the facts that relate to your claim because everybody's claim is different. We all work in different places. We all have different managers. We all have different personalities, and some of those personalities can be difficult. Adjuster can be difficult. Sometimes, adjuster can be great sometimes, but then the boss can be difficult. The boss can be great. The adjuster can be great. You have issues with the doctor. So there's a lot of different moving parts with these work injury claims.

So what happens with your work injury if you don't get better? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia workers compensation attorney, practicing law in the state of Georgia. And our topic for today is what happens if you don't get better. We have several claims where workers were working very physical, heavy construction like jobs, got injured and cannot return back to that form of work. And that is quite a difficult thing for someone, especially if they've worked in a specialized field for an extended period of time. A lot of times. The first questions or responses we hear is who's going to hire somebody in their 50s who's been doing such and such for 30 years? And now I can't come back to that line of work. And that is actually a very good question. Regardless, the workers compensation system will not continue to pay you forever. And so there are things that you should consider doing that would be in your best interest. But it does get you out of the workers compensation system. Most of my clients are very happy to get out of the workers compensation system as they're very perturbed of being controlled. They receive their check one week on a Saturday, next week, it comes maybe the next Wednesday. And now it's like a week and a half. And there's a lot of sportsmanship with these checks. And of course, the insurance company says, Well, it's the postal service. Well, we've just received notice that the postal service will be delivering slower. So the question is, are we in for a lot more of that? Well, those are questions and answers to be determined at another time. But the reality is the doctors can only do so much. And once they get to where they don't believe they can help you, they're going to say, I'm sorry, you're as good as you're going to get. I believe you're at maximum medical improvement. Now, saying that does not mean that is the end of your care. It certainly implies that that is the end of your care. However, a lot of it depends upon the doctor, who is the doctor treating you? And is there someone who may be a better fit for your type of injury? A specialist in a different area depending upon the body part injured. However, if you have several doctors who have said, MMI. You're looking at a situation where then, yes, they are saying you have benefited as much as you're going to benefit through medicine. They don't believe there's anything medically speaking that they can do to improve your condition. And so you are at maximum medical improvement. And that just means that they don't think there's anything else they can do. They may keep you comfortable. They may send you to pain management, which will basically mask the pain and prevent you from feeling the discomfort that you feel. But it's not so much to get better and get back to work. And so once you're at that point where you're medically not improving, and there's nothing that the doctor can see that he thinks he can improve your condition. The question is, is there another doctor? If not, it may be the time to think about closing out your case and settling. If you're getting checks, they're once again not going to pay you forever. First of all, claim is typically 400 weeks. Unless there's a light duty restriction in what's called a WC 104 file, they can knock it down to 350 weeks. They can also knock down how much you're being paid if you're at the maximum rate after one year through what's called a change of condition, or WC 104. So there's a lot of things that they can do to manipulate those checks that you're receiving. And so it really is a good time to reach out to a Georgia workers compensation attorney and discuss what options are available to you. As far as settlement trying to resolve the claim, maximize what you can get in a lump sum. And figure a way to move into either going back to school reeducating yourself or getting trained in something that will not put th
Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia workers compensation attorney. And today what we're going to do is we're going to prepare you. We're going to give you a short version of preparing you for your deposition in a work injury claim. And so what that means is this is designed to give you something to look at right before you go into the deposition. You don't have a lot of time. You just need to know, really the essence of what you need to do and what you don't need to do. And so we will make longer videos with longer content on the times when you do have extra time to prepare for your depo. So let's start off with answering the question before you can answer the question, you want to listen until they have completely asked the question. You do not want to cut them off. You do not want to stop them. You do not want to assume you know where they're going with that question. What you want to do is you want to listen, and as soon as you hear them, stop the question. You want to count in your mind 1000 and 1002. Give them a second in that 2 seconds or 3 seconds or as long as you want it to be. That is your opportunity to develop your answer and respond. You want to respond yes or no when you can. But there will be questions that you are required to provide more of a long form answer, such as “explain how you got hurt”. Well, you can't say yes, obviously. And so you want to keep your responses as short and succinct as possible. The more you talk, the more doors you're going to open up, which will bring more questions from the opposing attorney. They're waiting there. They're listening. And if you go down a rabbit hole, they may take you down a rabbit hole may not mean anything, maybe a waste of time. It may be something that is very detrimental to your claim. And so it is best to keep things short, succinct respond to the question and the question only do not volunteer information. So I give three guidelines whenever you're going into a deposition. If they ask you a question that you do not understand, if you don't understand, you must have the wherewithal to let them know that you don't understand. The more important part is that you're not guessing at what it is that that attorney wants to know. You need to know for sure. You need to be very comfortable. That's what they're asking of you and then respond accordingly. Number two, if they ask you something that you don't remember, you can tell them you don't remember. However, if you don't remember at your deposition, they are locking down your testimony. So that what you say in your deposit is what they're going to hold you to if there is a hearing. And so you can't remember something new if there is a hearing. So what if there's something that you know the answer is written back at your house? It's on a piece of paper. It's somewhere else. You can find it, but you don't know it now. What you can do is you can respond accordingly. I know I have that information at my house. I don't remember the specifics. If you think you know, you want to say that in that manner, I think the answer is, why do you want to do that? Everything's being Typed down in a transcript format, it reads straight. And if you say “Yes.”, that's not the same as “yes?”, that “yes” implies you might not be 100% sure. “Yes.” implies you are sure. So when you say “I don't know for sure, however, blah blah blah.” The transcript will also say that. And that will be obviously information that is important down the road when that opposing attorney is looking at that transcript and saying, I want to cross examine them on this. Oh, wait. They weren't 100% sure. They were giving me information to try to help us move along in the deposition. And that will go a long way. So we've covered. Do not understand. We've covered. Do not remember. The last thing is, do not know. If they ask you something you do not know, such as why someone else di
Will you win your Georgia workers compensation case? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia workers compensation attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And the question we get a lot is “If I decide to go to a hearing while I win?” Well, we cannot tell you yes or no. Everything that matters when you're dealing with a Georgia workers compensation claim is what is called “evidence”. An evidence is what you have that you can prove. We all know that there are certain things that happen, but if you can't prove them in a court of law, it's like they didn't happen. And so evidence is what you must base your case on. And in reality, anybody who says yes, you can win. Well, if you've got a Slam dunk, yes, you can win case, you really shouldn't be out of hearing. Okay. There are times when the other side, employer insurer may not know details for some reason, but I think for the most part, once all the evidence is laid out, they're pretty realistic in their expectations and will not drag something into litigation, typically speaking without a reason. And so if there's something they are continuing to fight, there's probably some evidence or maybe some surveillance or video footage of you doing something you shouldn't have been doing or something along those lines. And so it's important to find that out into what is called discovery. But will you win your case? That's a complicated question. There is no guarantee that you will win everything you're seeking in a workers compensation claim. And so for any attorney to tell you otherwise, I think is somewhat reckless. The only way you find out if you win is by going through the process. And I'll say this a lot of times. What is considered a win is also a question Mark. In workers comp you're seeking medical benefits as it relates to your work injury and income benefits, if you've been taken out of work for more than seven days or on light duty or out of work completely for more than seven days. If you're on light duty, the employer cannot accommodate your restrictions. Okay. Will you win all of that? Well, the question is, what evidence do you have? Do you have work status reports that show that you're out of work or that you're on light duty? Do you have a name of someone at the employer's office that says, hey, just stay home. We can't accommodate your duty restrictions right now. We need somebody who can do work. That does happen doesn't always happen in writing. And so the more evidence you have in support of your contentions, the better chance you have of winning. But as far as Slam dunks, well, those are far and few between they are out there. But once again, if something is a Slam dunk, it doesn't need to be on a hearing calendar.
So what is your workers compensation claim worth? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia workers compensation attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And so we're going to be talking about Georgia workers compensation claims today. Well, in Georgia workers compensation claim, we have a lot of injured workers who are upset and they're in a great deal of pain, or they've gone through some painful procedures, such as surgeries and so forth. And they usually have a figure that they want in their head when they're talking about settlement. And they want to know how much will my claim settle for? And the reality is we are pretty good at talking about a range of settlement values. However, in determining the value of a settlement, there's three things that they look at.We look at the weekly checks. Are you receiving weekly checks? Well, how many weeks in the future are you going to continue receiving those weekly checks? If you know that and you are guaranteed that amount? Well, we can guarantee at least that time frame that you are going to receive those checks. Now, is there anything that can happen that would shake that up or change that? Well, of course there is. If you're in your car driving to a doctor's appointment and get in a motor vehicle collision, which aggravates and or interrupts your injury that may cut up the exposure for the workers compensation insurance company. And now you may have an auto insurance claim. Not that you want that. But I'm saying there are things in life that can change. So there is no guarantee that you're going to get paid that many weeks in advance. And so that's what inherently makes it hard to get a cold specific number. There are ranges of values, and as attorneys, we get familiar with them, as we have handled many cases through the years. If you have a worker's compensation attorney on your claim. And so one of the big things is how much are you getting paid per week? Is it a low comp rate? Are you making 200 a week or is it a higher comp rate and you have the Max rate, 675 per week? Well, that has a big determination on the future value of the claim. In addition to that is future medical; How many future medical appointments will you have with orthopedic will you need another surgery? Will you need to go under injections or have injections? We need to have more expensive diagnostic testing, such as MRIs, EMG, nerve conduction studies, milligrams, etc. Or are you pretty much done with your care if you're done with your care, well, then there's not a lot of expected future medical care, and that will affect the value of your claim. And so we talked about the weekly checks. We talked about the income benefits. The last thing is permanent impairment. A lot of people say, oh, permanent impairment. This is where I'm going to get the pain and suffering. It is not to be confused with pain and suffering at all. It's a number that can be calculated to the Penny, so long as you know three things. One, what is the weekly check amount? Two, what body part is injured and what weeks are associated with that body part that can be determined rather easily? Three, what is the impairment rating? Impairment rating is something that the doctor will give you based upon your conditions. And based upon what is called the AMA guidelines. And so they determine what percentage of impairment for a particular body part based upon your functionality. If you know those three numbers, then yes, without a doubt, you can calculate that to the Penny. However, usually there's some guesswork as to what is the impairment because the injured worker does not have an impairment rating established. And even if they have that once again, as an opinion, you could get a second one. It can be different. You could have further aggravating problems, which could make the impairment rating go higher, etc. And so there's a bunch of moving parts he
Is the insurance company required to take care of me if I'm injured on the job? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia Workers Compensation attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And our video topic is just that, “Is the insurance company required to take care of me if I'm hurt on the job?” Well, the short answer is there would be maybe. First of all, are you an employee? Second of all, does your employer have three or more workers full time? Third, do they have workers compensation insurance coverage? Some guys don't. And if they don't, it's much more difficult to deal with an employer directly when they're not covered under the Georgia Workers Compensation Act. And so there are a couple of what we call preliminary or questions early on questions you need to get answered. If you're an employee and your employer has three or more employees and has workers compensation insurance and you're injured, what is called in the course and scope of your employment, meaning you're doing the job you're supposed to be doing for your employer, then more likely than not, yes, you have a work injury. However, we like to just say if you were hired to do something and you were doing that job, chances are that is a work injury. Reach out to a Georgia Worker's Compensation attorney. Get confident that you do have a work injury. Now, the insurance part that's going to be separate. But that also helps in moving the case along. What happens when you first get hurt? Well, you need to speak with your employer. You need to say, “hey, I've been injured on the job. I need medical care.” Need to let them know immediately. We have a lot of people that give us a call and they say, “oh, I was hurt on the job, and this is horrible. And they're not getting me medical care.” I said, “Well, did you ask them for medical care?” “No, but they know I was hurt.” Take out the guesswork. They may know you're hurt, but you need to tell them directly. “I need medical care. I was hurt on the job. I need help with medical care.” They should provide you a list of doctors. It's called a posted Panama physician. And so if you're in this position and you're getting nowhere with your employer, you do need to call Georgia Workers Compensation attorney. If you're getting medical care, the question is, is quality medical care? Some medical care is better than others. Some medical care. You only need to go to an urgent care clinic and you're in and out. You're done well, you don't need an attorney if that's the case. However, if you've got a more serious injury, whether it's a back injury or an extremity injury, whether it be a shoulder, knee, hip or an ankle, and you're having greater problems and the urgent care doesn't seem to be doing anything for you. You should reach out to a Georgia worker's compensation attorney. Try to get the information and guidance that you need to move forward.
So here's a question we get all the time. How much is a worker's compensation lawyer going to take from my settlement? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson, Georgia Workers' Compensation attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And our question today is, “How much do the attorneys get paid? Who helps represent the injured worker?” Well, the short answer is it is what is called a “contingency fee contract”. And what that means is you do not pay any money up front. The attorney will obviously want to make sure that you have a valid claim that they're trying to pursue for you, because if the attorney is not successful, the attorney gets absolutely nothing. And so it's important that they think that your claim qualifies as something worth pursuing. And if so, they'll ask you to sign a contract. Well, the contract says if there's a recovery, the attorney is entitled to 25%. If the attorney has to fight to get your checks cut on. And when I say fight, I don't mean to send a letter. I mean, if the attorney has to file a hearing, has to sit in a deposition, has to compose and draft discovery request to go to the insurance company and the employer and has to answer discovery requests that come from the insurance company and the employer, then have a hearing on the matter and get a decision in order to get your income benefits cut on or press them enough that they can get in assent order to get your benefits cut on, they would be entitled to 25 % of your weekly income benefit. That's not something that happens a lot, but that is a possibility. And that's something you should know about. Now, in addition to the fees, there could be expenses. What expenses? Right. Well, postage. There's a lot of stuff that goes out in the certified mail to make sure people have received it, especially notice of the letter of representation and so forth. Mail to you, the client notice of mediation, notice of depositions, request for medical records. Those cost money as well. Those would all be expenses that would be separate from the attorney fees. And so in our agreement, we will provide and everybody should an itemization of every expense that has been expensed on the file and that we're seeking reimbursement for. And the board requires it as long as it's over $150 by those are the cost and expenses. So the fees (25%) and then any cost that's associated with that. And so hopefully that will answer your question as far as what the attorneys would receive if there is a resolution on a case, and if there is a resolution in the case, there will be paperwork that breaks down exactly what those amounts are to you and to your attorney. You want to calculate it, just double check it, then take a few seconds to do that. And then whenever the resolution ends the case, there will be two checks. One to you the claimant and then one to the Attorney's office. And usually they're both sent to the attorney to the attorney to monitor the days and make sure that there's no late penalties that need to be applied to it. And so that is how it usually unfolds. Now, we have another question. How long will it take for me to get my money? Well, this is kind of a tricky question because they didn't say in what scenario I'm going to presume that they have settled their case, and they're curious as to how much the attorney is going to get paid and when they're going to get paid. And so the reality is there's a couple of things that are beyond everyone's control. What has to happen is there has to be a stipulation and settlement agreement drafted usually by the defense attorney or the attorney for the employer, ensure they will submit that to the claimants attorney claimants attorney will then go over that, send that to the claimant. They will need to go over the legal matters, whether the claimants coming into the office, whether they're sending it to them via mail, can be handled many different ways.&
Do you really need a lawyer for your workers compensation claim? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a George workers compensation lawyer practicing law in the state of Georgia. And the short answer is, it depends completely upon your injury. If you have a very minor injury, you really don't need an attorney. You need to get the care you need and you need to get back to work. You're going to make more money staying at work and remaining gainfully employed and dealing with the minor injury and letting the employer and the insurance company pay for the injuries if they're mild. So if you have a serious injury where you need surgery or may need surgery, the bigger question is, are you going to be able to physically return back to work? And if that's a question Mark, you likely do need an attorney to help you. And the reason for it is not necessarily what you see, but what is going on in the background. These insurance companies spend a lot of money on nurse case managers, and these nurse case managers are reaching out to the doctor. When you're not around, they're supposed to provide you notice. None of them ever do. They're supposed to notify you. Ten days before they're going to meet with the doctor and invite you as the patient to be there. They never do. So what are they doing? They're working on the doctor releasing you back to work. That doesn't sound like a bad thing. And in fact, that's how they pitch it to the doctor. Hey, Doc, do you think they can get back to work? Maybe light duty, maybe something sitting at a desk, even if that's not your job. And so where that comes into play is the employer. If you don't work at a desk job and they make a desk job for you, really, what they're doing is they're stopping the checks for the insurance company and making sure that the employer takes back the employee. But if they created a job, well, the question is, do you think they're going to keep that job that they just created to get you back to work forever? It depends on what you're doing. If they've created a new position, there's a chance. But I don't think that the chances are that great. And so you have to look at the whole picture when you're injured on the job. If you know other people who have been injured on the job, did they return if they did? Well, maybe they had a minor injury, or maybe the employer brought them back to work. Maybe they hired an attorney. Maybe they didn't. Sometimes when you hire an attorney, the employer will take a more aggressive stance towards you. The insurance company will always take the aggressive stance. You are threatening their bottom line, which is money in their account. That's how a fictional insurance company exists, taking in premiums and paying out as little as possible. The workers compensation laws are supposed to be there to protect the employee. If you've been injured and you've suffered a work injury, you realize rather quickly the laws appear to really be protecting the employer. However, there are ways to meander through the system, and the reality is there is a sort of balance with the system. And so if you're lost and you're meandering through a system in which you might need a surgery or you need care, you're not getting the care you need. The answer is yes. At that point, you do need an attorney.
So what should you expect in expungement in Georgia? Hello, my name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia Criminal Defense Lawyer practicing Law in the State of Georgia. And our topic today is, “What should you expect on an expungement manner in the State of Georgia? And honestly the term expungement is no longer used in the state of Georgia. Now it is called “Record Restriction”. And so, there's 2 different things you wanna deal with. You wanna deal with record restriction and sealing the record. And those will secure different access information from different people including the court clerk. And so when you're seeking a record restriction and sealing of your past records, there are certain requirements. You need to speak with an Attorney who handles these types of matters so they can tell you if your charge is qualified. If you have had any other record restriction you are only limited to a certain amount. And so, there's a lot of rules and regulations, a lot of details which are far beyond the scope of this video itself. But some of the general guidelines, what you can expect is typically our experience is been you can expect. The District Attorney office do not consent and or agree to you having your records restricted and in fact they will stand in the way of you getting your records restricted. So you have to petition the court typically for a hearing, and you have to have a hearing in front of a judge. And the district Attorney office is going to argue their case is, why you should not get your records restricted. And you're going to need to argue your case why you should get your records restricted. An example would be, your right to privacy outweighs the publics' information or the ability for the public to only take a look at the information on your rest. Now, there are many, many requirements in order for you to even be able to follow for records restriction. And along that depends on were the courts, were the charges were 2013 or not. Because of that, that's when there was a big change and all the court's started doing the record restrictions automatically. However, before that you have to be a little more protective. Now, just because they may have restricted your records, does not mean that they sealed them. And the sealing is the second part of it, and it's also something that you want to get. Make sure you get done because there are certain places such as jails and or other avenues where employers can seek to obtain if you've ever even been arrested. And so, when they ask you in your application, they're double checking. They're making sure, they wanna know what they are dealing with someone who is honest. If you say NO, and you have and you forgot about something, the chances are you're not going to get that job. So that's how that could potentially affect you. Anyway if you have more questions about expungement and or what we call like I said in Georgia now, records restrictions and sealing of your past charges, please feel free to give us a call. We hope this information has been helpful and we'll see you on the next video.
Can I get a lump sum settlement in my workers' compensation claim and then return back to work? Hello, my name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia workers compensation Attorney practicing Law in the State of Georgia. And our topic for today is, “Can I settle my workers' compensation claim for a lump sum settlement and then return back to work?”. And the short answer on that is,YES. However, if you are settling a worker's compensation claim with an employer, there is a very likelihood that as a condition of the settlement, you will need sign some other documents. You will need to sign the settlement for the lump sum, what is called “stipulation and settlement agreement” for Georgia state board of Worker's Comp. And in addition to that, they usually require or request that you sign a voluntary resignation and a release. Let's talk about the voluntary resignation. If you are planning on returning back to your same employer, then the likelihood of getting a lump sum settlement and then returning back to that same position and same work, would be slubbed. If however, you have another job lined up and you're looking to get the lump sum settlement and then start this other new job, then that is something that could, you could possibly do. And so if you have specific questions, it's always recommended to always reach out to a Georgia Workers Compensation Attorney. Speak to them about the specifics of your particular claim. We hope that this information has been helpful and we'll see you on the next video.
“I was injured on the job and I didn't report it, I didn't think it was serious. Now I'm really hurt. What can I do?” Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia Workers' Compensation attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And this is a question we get a lot. The short answer is you need to report the injury as soon as possible. The chances are the employer is going to treat you like something is up like something is crazy. They could potentially terminate you. The reality is this, when you're injured on the job, you need to report that injury immediately to a supervisor or as quickly as possible. If you don't, you will be barred, meaning you cannot bring a claim after so much time. And so if you haven't provided notice to the employer of your injury and that you need medical care within 30 days, I can assure you that the employer and the insurance company will deny the claim, and force you to file a hearing. And the question is always going to be, when did you tell us? And why did you wait so long? And we hear a lot of things like, well, I didn't want to lose my job. Well, if you're hurt to the point where it's becoming serious now, you're not going to be able to work a job you don't want to lose. And that doesn't really make a lot of sense. And so if it's a minor injury, you let it go, you're going to end up having to pay out of pocket. How do you know? Well, you don't. And that's the trick. If you don't know if it's serious or not, you need to report the injury. You need to seek the medical care. And if you feel like you've got questions, you need to reach out to a Georgia workers compensation attorney, someone that you can find that you trust and someone that you have as a sounding board. Am I doing this right? You're going to feel like you're blind running through the Woods, hoping you're not hitting a tree. And so that's the benefit of getting a Georgia worker's compensation attorney involved in your claim. They can help walk you through the minefield. If it's a minor injury, get the treatment, get back to work. And don't worry about any type of settlement or resolution. The reality is any type of settlement or resolution in a workers compensation claim is not going to set you for life. They may buy you some time. It may give you some money for rainy days, but it will not set you for life. And if you're gauging your decisions based upon, well, how will this affect my workers compensation claim? That's really not the right way. What you need to do is, you need to figure out what is the best way I can get back on my feet and get back to work and start making money for myself and my family. The workers compensation claim may or may not come into play with that, but it's not going to set you for life. Hope this information has been helpful and we'll see you on the next video.
I was hurt on the job, and my employer is saying that I need to use up my sick leave before they'll kick in workers' comp. Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia workers compensation attorney practicing Law in the state of Georgia, and a question for today is Do I have to use my sick leave instead of going on workers Comp? And the short answer is no, you don't have to, but it may be beneficial for you, too. And let me explain why. So if you're injured on the job and you're unable to return back to work, at least for a short period of time at that point in time, the first seven days workers' Comp does not have to pay you anything. After 21 days of being out of work consecutively, they are required to pay you for that first seven. So the first seven days, so they'll catch up over the course of 28 days, and then they'll pay you weekly weekly income benefits. Now, those weekly income benefits, though, are calculated at a discounted rate. And what I mean by that is they take your average weekly wage and then they pay you 67% of it. Now they don't take taxes out. However, it's still going to be two thirds of your average weekly wage, and it's capped currently under Georgia law to cap at 675 per week. That changes from time to time and is changing rather often lately. So you may want to check after you see this video and see if in fact it has changed again. But currently, 675 is the maximum that someone is receiving in Georgia for a work injury under the workers compensation system. Once again, if you use your sick leave, likely that will be just like you had a paycheck. Now you will be using up your sick leave. That's the downside of it. But the upside of it is you will make your full paycheck versus the reduced amount from workers comp. If you're seriously injured, you may not be returning back. You may want to use that sick leave and maximize the amount of money that you can receive. Once you use up your sick leave, then you can kick into workers compensation and get the reduced rate at least at that point in time. You can try to do some more planning as if you're seriously injured, you're probably going to be out for a considerable amount of time. Certainly it depends on how much sick leave you have and so forth, but you want to use it strategically if you can. And so if you use up your sick leave, then workers compensation should kick in. And from that point on, you'll continue to receive those income benefits as long as you're out of work completely or on light duty restrictions and the employer cannot accommodate your restrictions. I hope this information has been helpful and we'll see you on the next video. Thank you.
So what are three things you need to know about surveillance? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson, Georgia workers compensation attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And what we're talking about today is surveillance or the insurance company hiring an investigator to follow you if you've been injured on the job. And we're talking from the state of Georgia perspective. We see this from time to time, and I guess the most important thing now is that: One. In all cases, they're not necessarily just going to hire investigator can be very expensive. And so if they're not paying you income benefits and especially if they're not paying you income benefits or medical benefits, and they denied your claim entirely, there's a pretty good chance they're not going to waste their money hiring an investigator to follow you unless you're claiming some pretty outlandish stuff. However, if you are receiving medical benefits, well, there's a possibility that they'll hire an investigator. It just depends upon how serious the injury is in the nature of the injury. If you're receiving income benefits, I would say you're always a target to be followed by an investigator. They have to hire a private investigator and they'll follow you. And usually the times when they're looking for you and following you is when you're out in public. But keep in mind that workers compensation claim. There are certain things are situations where the insurance company knows where you will be, such as if you're in litigation on your workers compensation claim, then they're going to know that you've got to go to that deposition. They'll have an investigator waiting for you outside your Attorney's office, just waiting for you to hop into your car and follow you from there. If you have medical appointments and remember, the insurance company has to approve and authorize all medical appointments. Another time would be if you have a hearing. Well, certainly they know you're going to be there at the hearing and you're going to leave the hearing at some point. And at that point, they can follow you as well. What are they trying to do when they follow you? Are they trying to intimidate you? Well, not necessarily. What they're hoping you'll do is they're hoping that you'll do something that the doctor says you shouldn't be doing or you can't do. And they're hoping to catch you doing those things, whether it's limited walking, driving, no lifting more than 15 lbs. I want to catch you at the Home Depot lifting a 50 pound bag of something. That's what they want to catch you doing, because what they do and how they use these videos and the investigative reports is they will go to your authorized treating physician or your main doctor and your workers compensation claim, and they'll say, hey, Doc, we know that you said this person couldn't return to work. But we wanted to show you this video and see if you still believe they can't do these different things. And a lot of times the doctor will feel insulted, let down like you lied to them about how you were hurt and they become resentful. And obviously you're not there to explain the situation. They do this all behind the scenes, and they're allowed to, unfortunately, and the doctor will release you then full duty, not even seeing you. And I get a lot of calls. Well, the doctor didn't even see me, and he's all of a sudden release me full duty. So the first thing I'm always looking at is, is there a video? Do you know if there's a video? Did the adjuster talk to you about a video, or did someone else talk to you about them having a video? Because typically, that's how something changes on a dime. They catch you doing something that you're not supposed to be doing. They're going to try to shut your benefits down.
Is the employer required to hold my job if I'm injured on the job? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia Workers compensation attorney. And our question for today is, “Is my employer required to hold my job if I'm entered? And the short answer is No. There are some programs that can come into place that can help protect you, but it's not every employer that has to fall under them. And so what I'm talking about is, there is something called the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA ). And what is that? Well, that's a federal program but doesn't qualify that all employers are under FMLA. And so I believe the current threshold is there must be 50 or more employees for the employer to fall under the FMLA requirements. So there's less than 50 employees. The employer does not have to give you FMLA time. And something that's important with the FMLA is it's not a guarantee of any benefits other than protecting your job for up to twelve weeks. And if you've used part of your FMLA, this is twelve weeks over the course of the year. And so that's some things that you need to know about and be prepared for. If you're injured and you're going to need to be out of work for an extended period of time, FMLA may be something you want to think about in order to keep your job available. But after those twelve weeks, if you fall under the FMLA umbrella, they do not have to keep your job open and can terminate it. If you do not fall under the FMLA or Family Medical Leave Act umbrella, they do not have to keep your job. They can terminate you. They choose to terminate you, though, and you're on light duty or you're out of work completely. The Workers Compensation Insurance company should be issuing you something called income benefits. We'll do another video on covering income benefits and how much and how often and so forth. But the long and short of it is if you are taken out of work completely or you're on light duty and your employer cannot accommodate your life duty restrictions and your employer terminates you. Well, they should be issuing you income benefits, If however, you are full duty, the employer is not required to pay you any income benefits, or the insurance company is not required to pay you any insurance income benefits, and the employer is not required to keep you employed. You could have what is called a medical only where you're only receiving medical care. And if you're full duty, that employer can terminate you and it will continue to be a medical only claim. And so we hope that this information has been helpful. And we'll see you on the next video.
So if I'm hurt on the job and I'm not able to return back to work in that position, is the employer required to find me another position within that company? Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia Workers' Compensation Attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And our question for today is really; “Is the employer required to find me a position to work in if I can't work in the job that they had originally hired me for?” And so the short answer, it's very short answer is “No”. They are not required to find you work now, that doesn't mean they won't create a light duty job to get you off of the income benefits from the insurance company. However, they don't have to. They have a choice in the matter. And so if they want to bring you back, then they likely will bring you back. And if they want to make that light duty position a full time job, well, certainly they can do that. But that's going to be up to the employer. And a lot of it's going to depend upon what you're doing for the employer. And is it beneficial to the employer or is it a full time job or is it a part time job and what heavy. And so they're not required to do that, but they can. And so that's going to be on an employer b y employer basis. I hope this information is helpful. And we'll see you in the next video.
Hello. We're here for the basics of Georgia workers compensation. And today we're going to talk about income benefits. Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia workers compensation attorney practicing in the state of Georgia. And our discussion for today is a general explanation of income benefits and how they work under Georgia workers compensation law. And so we discussed in a prior video, medical care. Obviously, when you get injured on the job, the most important thing you can do is notify your supervisor, and or your boss that: one, you've been injured, and two, you need medical care for your injuries. Depending upon if your employer has what is called a posted panel of physicians, they may be able to control who you get to see for your medical care. We discussed that in our prior video. Well, now we're looking at a situation where you've either been taken out of work completely for more than seven days or you've been released to light duty, and your employer cannot accommodate your light duty restrictions. So Let's say, for example, that you're injured on the job. You're working construction, you hurt your back and you're on light duty, sedentary duty. The doctor says you can only do sitting down work. And your job is typically at a construction site. Well, your employer may say, Hey, I don't have any of that type of work. You just go on home. And if they do, it's going to be important that after seven days, there's a discussion with the adjuster on are the income benefits starting or where we at on that. You should be entitled to that, so long as you're an employee and you meet all the other things that we discussed in our prior video And so what does that mean? Well, typically in Georgia, you're paid weekly, and so you're given a weekly check. So how do they calculate that? Well, they take from when you're injured and they look back before your injury 13 weeks. And does it not matter if that was the slowest time of the year or hopefully, that was a great time of year for you, depending if your wages are consistent, it's very easy to calculate. You take your average weekly wage over those 13 weeks, your average amount, and that becomes your average weekly wage.Then you take two thirds or 67% of that number. And that is what is called your comp rate. Now, if that number turns out to be above 675 dollars per week, currently, that is the Max. Those numbers are always changing. We're talking this is the middle of June 2,021. And so currently the Max rate is 675. That is subject to change and increase down the road. So if this video is older as you're watching it, you want to reach out to Georgia worker's compensation attorney or reach out to the Georgia State Board of Workers Compensation and just ask, what is the maximum rate of income benefits today? Also, once that number is determined, that kind of follows you around, and that is what is called your temporary. If you're receiving income benefits and you're out of work completely, it's called temporary total disability, meaning you're totally disabled temporarily. And so you'll be getting those checks so long as either you're out of work completely per your doctor or you get released to light duty and your employer cannot accommodate your light duty restrictions. Keep in mind, as you're receiving this medical care, it is anticipated that you're going to improve in your condition. This depends upon the nature of your injuries. If you have a very, very serious injury in your claim is a catastrophic claim, it probably will not be very quickly before you recover if you are able to recover it all. These are the most serious injuries that are out there, and some of them.Visit our WebsiteCall us: 912-208-2992
Hello. This video is about your guide to the basics of workers compensation. Today we're focusing on medical care. Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia workers compensation attorney, practicing law in the state of Georgia. And so Let's get into medical care. In order to obtain medical care for a work injury claim, you must be an employee, meaning you're not an independent contractor. Now, there are several questions as to what determines if someone is an employee and or an independent contractor. And that's something that we'd recommend you contact, reach out... contact Georgia worker's compensation attorney. However, typically speaking, an employee is someone who has taxes taken out of their checks, and they are able to be controlled as far as their schedule or as they say, their time, method, manner and means. And so what does that mean? What means an employer can say, Hey, I need you here at eight o'clock and I need you to show up at eight o'clock and you'll be leaving at five. We'll get an hour lunch, you'll get a couple of breaks, etc. And when you get here, I'll tell you what to do. And then they start laying out a schedule for you. And that is typically what an employee is versus an independent contractor is typically someone where they say, I need you to do a job for me. We'll pay you for the job. We're not going to pay you hourly. You bring your own tools and show up whenever you can. We'll have that job for you, and we'll be ready sometime around next Wednesday. Something along those lines. So it's a little bit different.But this video is not meant to determine the difference between an employee and independent contract. We can do a later video on that. The important thing is if you are injured on the job and you are an employee, that is where you would qualify for workers compensation medical benefits. Now, there are some other things that you need to be aware of. As I said, first of all, you should be an employee. Second of all, you need to be physically injured, meaning a mental injury only will not apply in Georgia workers compensation. Also, you must be injured….Your injury must occur arising out of and in the course and scope of your employment. And those are two separate things. So a rising out of is a connection between your work as an employee and the injury that you received. And so there has to be some sort of connection so that's the arising out of the course and scope of well, that's where the employee is helping the employers business goals. So you must have both in the course and scope of employment. So rising out of and in the course and scope of employment. We typically say that means you were doing the job that you were hired to be doing to help your employer out. There must be a connection between, as I said, your work and the entry that you sustained. Visit our WebsiteCall us: 912-208-2992
Alright, today we're talking about three ways to destroy your Georgia Workers' Compensation claim. Hello, my name is Ty Wilson of Georgia Workers' Compensation Attorney practicing Law in the state of Georgia. And we're talking about three things that will absolutely destroy your claim. And so if you want to guarantee this is a guaranteed way to absolutely destroy your claim. Number one, not reporting your injury to your employer. Sitting around knowing your hurt, you never tell your employer you hurt. You never tell your employer that you need medical care. Waiting about 30 days and then picking up the phone and trying to get an attorney to take your case. The guarantee is that they will deny the claim. And you're looking at long litigation which are likely not going to win. It's very important and very critical. And the way to overcome that is to report your injury as soon as possible. And to tell them, meaning your employer, you're hurt and you need medical care. Alright, number two, “quitting”. Getting hurt on the job and say, “That's it. I'm done. Quit. I'm out of here, resigning.I'm not going back.” That is a guarantee to destroy the possibility of receiving income benefits. Does that mean they are eliminated forever? Maybe not. But it's going to behind the.. It's gonna require likely litigation in order to get your checks cut on. And it's also going to require possibly the need for surgery and that's if the claim is not denied in its entirety. And so you want to guarantee no income benefits when you get them and when you need them, when you're hurt at the worst state and time. Go ahead and quit. Number three, getting medical care setup and no showing to your doctor. Why do you need to get there? Who needs it? You don't show up to your doctor, I guarantee you that your medical benefits will cease. If you're getting income benefits, they will likely cease and stop immediately. And so you want to stop your claim dead and is track. You want to guarantee that you can stop your claim, don't show up to any of the informants. Now, I'm going to give you a bonus one as well. Hiring and firing multiple Attorneys. If you hire an attorney, you have the right to fire them. It's your claim. But if you hire that attorney and then you fire them and then you hire someone else. Remember, in a worker's compensation claim, the attorneys can file what are called liens for the time that they put in on the file. And when you've gotten multiple, every attorney that you hire is going to find out about the prior attorneys. And they're going to have to deal with them if there is any type of resolution down the road and negotiate with them likely for their leans. And so what you end up doing is guaranteeing yourself to deal with an attorney who takes on cases that have been handled by their attorneys. Some attorneys won't touch a case if there's a lien on it. And so you narrow your chances of getting an attorney that is going to properly handle the case. The guys who wheel and deal with leans well, they're in their own little world. You could affect the ability to get good counsel in your case. Now, we obviously are telling you these guarantees as tongue in cheek. This is meant to be for educational purposes only. We do not encourage you to not tell your employer until after 30 days. You should tell your employer immediately. We do not encourage you to quit. You should talk to a Georgia workers compensation attorney immediately. Find out what your rights are. Make an educated decision. Do not just quit. Alright. Visit our WebsiteCall us: 912-208-2992
Have you been injured and are looking for a Workers Compensation Settlement calculator? Hello, my name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia workers compensation attorney. And today we're going to talk about the questions that we need answered so that we can help determine a value for your claim. In order to determine a value for your Georgia workers compensation claim, There are several factors that go into making that decision. 1. Are you out of work? Are you back at work either with restrictions or back to full duty? Certainly, as you can imagine, if you're out of work and receiving weekly income benefit checks, your claim has more value. Then if you're back at work full duty. 2. What body part was injured? Was it a shoulder injury? Was it a back injury? Was it a finger injury? Certainly, back injuries carry more value with them than finger injuries. 3. Have you been given permanent restrictions or an impairment rating?4. Are you still treating or do you need more medical care? As you can imagine, if you need more medical care, potentially diagnostic testing, potentially surgery or procedures, that claim has more value than if you've completed all of your medical care. Now, if you'd like to speak with a Georgia workers compensation attorney to get an idea of the value of your Georgia workers compensation claim. Feel free to give us a call at the number in the screen.If you're not ready to speak with an attorney, that's certainly fine. We've also written several special reports to help answer common, frequent questions that most injured workers have when they're thrown into a Georgia workers compensation claim. If you're interested in ordering those, if you look down at the description, there should be a link to those special reports, and we're adding more each day. And so take a look at those. And then if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call. We hope this information has been helpful, and we look forward to seeing you on the next video. Thank you.
If a loved one or myself has been attacked by a dog, what is the first thing and most important thing to do? Hello, my name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia personal injury attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And our topic for today is, “What is the first thing you do after an animal attack and or dog bite?” Well, the first thing you want to do is you want to get medical care as quickly as possible, especially depending upon the severity of the injuries. That is the absolute most critical thing that you can do. After you receive the care, or perhaps you can solicit a family member who has not been involved in the incident, you want to reach out to police and or animal control or both and file a report and have them investigate. And get as much detail as you can about what happened to them so that they can do their investigation. And determine if there's someone who they can follow up with and who is responsible for the dog or animal. Either way, that's going to be critical and helpful to you in helping try to reimburse you for medical expenses that you're going to end up having to pay out as a result of those types of injuries. If there is no injury, you really don't need to worry about that. You can still file a report to put the homeowner on notice that the dog has attacked, but there was no serious injury. And that way, the dog owner then will have a duty to make sure that they are diligent in keeping their dog contained and following whatever the laws are in that area. Whether it's a leash law or containment law. What if this information has been helpful? And we will look for you on the next video.Thank you.Chat with us now!Visit our WebsiteCall us: 912-208-2992
So what is the statute of limitations for a dog bite case? Hello, my name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia personal injury attorney practicing law in the state of Georgia. And our topic for today is. “What is the statute of limitations on an animal attack and or dog bite case?” That is a personal injury case, which is two years from the date of injury currently under George Law. Always subject to change. Do not rely on this video. It's always recommended that you reach out to a Georgia personal injury attorney who handles cases in the state of Georgia and can tell you what the personal injury statute of limitations is at that point in time. It has stayed pretty consistent throughout the years, but it is always subject to change. And so you want to reach out and get first hand knowledge of what that statute of limitations is, which, as I said, is two years currently under Georgia statutes. However, “always subject to change”. Wish you luck. Let me know if you have any questions. We'll see you in the next video. Thank you. Chat with us now!Visit our WebsiteCall us: 912-208-2992
What happens if I'm attacked by a dog while I'm working at someone's house? Hello, my name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia personal injury and workers' compensation attorney, practicing law in the state of Georgia. And in this type of situation, I have actually known someone who has been attacked by a homeowner while they were working helping them. I believe it was with their air conditioning unit. And what happens in that type of situation is you potentially have two claims. The first would be a workers compensation claim. That claim would provide you a certain set of benefits, and then the personal injury may provide you a second set of benefits. There are different things that have to be proven. There are different things that have to happen for each of these two different claims. However, if structured properly and you would want an attorney who handles both types of claims like that, you can obtain benefits for both. At least that's the idea. And that certainly depends on the nature and severity or how severe and how bad the injuries are. I hope that information has been helpful, and we will see you in the next video.Chat with us now!Visit our WebsiteCall us: 912-208-2992
So what if I'm attacked by a friend and or neighbor's dog? Hello, my name is Ty Wilson. I'm a Georgia Personal injury Attorney practicing Law in the State of Georgia. And this is a question that we received recently. “What if I was attacked by a friend and or neighbor's dog?” Well, certainly that may strain the friendship. It depends on how serious the attack was. And is the friend and or neighbor going to work with you? If they're not going to work with you and they're not going to provide you any help and reimbursing you and paying you for what the dog has done? Well, once again, the questions are, “What are the facts? Was this something where you were over at the neighbor's house and you were provoking the dog?” Well, that's probably not going to go very well for you. However, if you were minding your own business on your property and the dog gets loose from a lease or a fence or something comes and attacks you, that could be a different scenario. So facts are always critical. And there's so many facts, it's way too many to list on a simple video like this. But the reality is this, if you can work it out with your friends or neighbors, that's always best as this can strain friendships and constrain neighbor relations. So you want to reach out to them and see if, in fact, there's something that they'd be willing to do and willing to help you with. If it's severe, and when I say severe, we're talking severe surgery, hospitalization and extensive damages. You're going to want to reach out to a Georgia personal injury attorney and find out what your rights are. It doesn't mean you have to hire that attorney, but you do need to find out what are you potentially capable of recovering if there is coverage. And once again, that is based upon the facts of the attack. Hopefully you'll never have to go through that. We hope this information has been helpful, and we will see you on the next video. Thank you. Chat with us now!Visit our WebsiteCall us: 912-208-2992
