Medical Treatment under Georgia Workers' Compensation
The Good News:
Unlike most situations with cash benefits, your medical benefits are basically never-ending. In other words, once you have an "accepted" claim, one in which your employer or their insurer has paid you income benefits or has paid for your medical treatment, your employer owes you treatment related to that injury for as long as it takes to cure you, provide relief, or restore you to suitable employment. This obligation could go on for your entire life depending on the injury.
