The legacy body is written in the first\n     person of a single attorney (\"en mi opini\u00f3n\"); the rebuild speaks for the firm, as the EN\n     twin does.

Saber usar ese panel es una de las decisiones tempranas m&aacute;s importantes en una reclamaci&oacute;n de compensaci&oacute;n laboral en Georgia.<\/p>\n\n  <p>El panel debe estar colocado en un lugar visible del centro de trabajo &mdash; la sala de descanso, por ejemplo, o a veces los ba&ntilde;os. Solo tiene que estar en alg\u00fan sitio accesible para usted. De hecho, puede que le convenga ir a fotografiarlo ahora mismo, para saber qu&eacute; m&eacute;dicos tiene disponibles si alguna vez se lesiona.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Si ya se ha lesionado, su empleador deber&iacute;a haberle mostrado esa lista y haberle dejado elegir. No puede elegir cualquier m&eacute;dico: por ejemplo, no puede acudir sin m&aacute;s a su m&eacute;dico de atenci&oacute;n primaria &mdash; la aseguradora no est&aacute; obligada a pagarlo. S&iacute; est&aacute; obligada a pagar la atenci&oacute;n con uno de los m&eacute;dicos autorizados, y es <em>usted<\/em> quien elige de la lista.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"callout note\"><strong>Conozca sus derechos.<\/strong> Si su empleador o la compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de seguros intenta decirle a qu&eacute; m&eacute;dico tiene que acudir, eso es falso &mdash; y es ilegal. La elecci&oacute;n dentro del panel le corresponde a usted.<\/div>\n\n  <h2>Elija al Ortopedista &mdash; No la Cl&iacute;nica<\/h2>\n\n  <p>Le recomendamos encarecidamente seleccionar &mdash; con su abogado o, como m&iacute;nimo, por su cuenta &mdash; a un <strong>ortopedista<\/strong>. Tiene que haber un ortopedista en el panel. As&iacute; que si tiene una lesi&oacute;n de espalda, de rodilla o de cuello, el ortopedista es a quien debe acudir.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Lo m&aacute;s probable es que en el panel figuren tambi&eacute;n dos cl&iacute;nicas &mdash; y no le conviene elegirlas. Las cl&iacute;nicas est&aacute;n atendidas en su mayor&iacute;a por m&eacute;dicos que trabajan para el empleador y la aseguradora. En nuestra opini&oacute;n, esos m&eacute;dicos no velan por su mejor inter&eacute;s, porque su verdadero cliente es la aseguradora y el empleador.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Elija a un experto &mdash; un ortopedista que trate sus lesiones &oacute;seas o articulares. Son quienes pueden proporcionar una atenci&oacute;n m&aacute;s especializada, y los menos propensos a estar sesgados a favor del empleador y del asegurador.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"article-cta\">\n  <h2>&iquest;Lesionado en el Trabajo en Georgia?<\/h2>\n  <p>Desde el panel de m&eacute;dicos hasta el acuerdo final, las decisiones que tome al principio pueden marcar toda su reclamaci&oacute;n.
