Workers’ Compensation & Home Accessibility: Planning for Safety After an Injury

December 8, 2025

When someone is injured on the job, the focus is often on medical recovery — but what happens when returning home brings new challenges? For many, workers’ compensation benefits can help cover essential home modifications that restore safety, accessibility, and independence. These upgrades may include: 🔹 Zero-threshold showers for safe, independent bathing. 🔹 Ramps or platform lifts for easy access to entries and exits. 🔹 Wider doorways and open floor plans for wheelchair navigation. 🔹 Grab bars, handrails, and non-slip flooring for fall prevention. A work-related injury can change how someone moves through their home — but with the right support, it doesn’t have to limit how they live. At Accessible Living Atlanta , we’ve helped many families work with insurance and workers’ comp programs to create safe, user-friendly homes that promote healing, comfort, and confidence — inside and out. 👉 If you know someone adjusting to life after an injury, we can help them explore how workers’ compensation may fund the modifications they need.
