Q. Can GA workers' comp provide a rental car due to injury?
A: Andy is mostly correct. O.C.G.A. 34-9-1 et. seq. is the Workers compensation act and it does not require the insurance company to provide you with a rental car. They are also not required to reimburse the specific amount charged by Uber or Lyft or any other rideshare company. It DOES require the insurance company to provide you with mileage reimbursement at $0.45 a mile (currently), when you are traveling for authorized medical care or to get your prescription medications. Only in catastrophic injuries can you get non-medical transportation. None of this really helps you if you are recovering from a surgery and cannot drive. So here's what you can do: Ask your doctor for a prescription/order for medical transportation. Once you have that order, the insurance company is required by law to provide you with transportation to and from medical appointments. Now the downside: most of the transportation companies suck, and they may leave you stranded or fail to show up on time. It's an imperfect solution, but it's your best option. Good luck, and consider hiring a lawyer now, because after surgery it's time to start thinking about maximizing the value of your settlement before the value of your case evaporates. ... Read More
Q. Can insurance payout for medical expenses be received directly?
A: Sounds like you are about to get bamboozled by an adjuster. Call a lawyer. I know it's frustrating to pay for a lawyer, but if you choose a good one, you'll end up with more money at the end of the case despite their fees. Good luck.
Q. How does general damages apply my case? When it says : it may be recovered for any amount with or without proof
A: Car wreck damages are complicated, and this sounds like a serious wreck. Frankly, you should not be trying to handle it on your own. When I used to work for insurance companies, I saw them bamboozle people like you all the time (i.e. people without a good lawyer). Get an attorney. Get one yesterday. An experienced attorney will protect your rights and should take the time to explain the situation to you.

Best of luck.
