⚖️ Legal Information
Georgia’s workers’ compensation system generally requires reporting your injury to your employer within 30 days (O.C.G.A. § 34-9-80) and provides medical and wage-replacement benefits regardless of fault. Deadlines for filing a claim with the State Board of Workers’ Compensation are strict.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1How long do I have to report a workplace injury in Georgia?
You generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days, though it’s best to report it immediately in writing to protect your claim.
2Can I choose my own doctor for a workers' comp injury?
Often you must treat with a physician from your employer’s approved panel, though exceptions and a right to a second opinion may apply depending on the situation.
3Can I sue my employer separately from filing workers' comp?
Workers’ compensation is usually your exclusive remedy against your employer, but a negligent third party who contributed to your injury may still be separately liable.
Getting hurt at work is stressful enough without fighting your employer’s insurance company for the workers’ compensation benefits you’re entitled to. We handle that fight, so you can focus on your recovery and getting back on your feet.
