You need to file a claim for worker's compensation benefits that cover temporary disability benefits, ongoing medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability and future medical care.

Sure, if that is what the employer wants to do.

Yes. In GA, having an on the job injury does not prohibit the employer from taking any action, including transfer and/or discharge.

You would need to provide more information to answer this question. Is this a work related injury? Did your doctor provide you with work restrictions? If it is work related, have you filed a workers' compensation claim?

Your question is impossible to answer on the facts given. Generally, if you have been injured on the job you have a workers compensation claim and it would behoove your employer to place you into a position where you could work, as opposed to simply collecting on the insurance. Whether or not that is mandatory or could be forced is a different issue altogether and will be determined by the company's policy or union rules.
