Re: w/c benefits
If there was coverage, you should get benefits for the entire time that a doctor kept you out of work. However, it sounds like there has been too much delay with your benefits and medical treatment. I think that you need to request a hearing with a judge. Otherwise, the insurance company will continue to drag their feet. My firm handles cases all over the State of Georgia. Call me toll free at 866.352.3311 and we can quickly determine if I can help. There's no charge for the consultation.
Re: w/c benefits
Your workers' compensation benefits will be payable from the date that you can prove that you were totally disabled, or partially disabled but performing a diligent job search. Since you haven't been paid yet, you may also have to prove that you were injured on the job. That should not be a problem considering you fell off a house. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss the case further.
