How to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Georgia

While you have up to a year to formally file your workers’ compensation claim, it is important to remember that, from the time of the workplace accident, you have just 30 days to report an injury to your supervisor. Do not hesitate to inform your manager immediately in order to secure your right to obtain the compensation you deserve. If your employer has a list of approved physicians who conform to the Georgia statute, you must visit one of these doctors. Emergency rooms are also acceptable.

When you are ready to file a claim, you must ask your employer for the necessary workers’ compensation paperwork. Never accept a settlement without first consulting a lawyer. The insurance companies are motivated to save money, not to help you get back on your feet after a workplace accident. Speak to the Atlanta workers’ compensation attorney at our firm about your options in order to ensure that you receive the full payout.
