Frequently Asked Questions

1

What should I do if I’m injured at work?

If you're injured at work, immediately report the injury to your employer or supervisor. Seek medical attention as soon as possible and make sure to follow all recommended treatments. It's also important to document the incident, including the time, place, and circumstances of the injury. Finally, consult with a workers' compensation attorney to understand your rights and ensure you receive the benefits you're entitled to.
2

How long do I have to report a workplace injury in Georgia?

In Georgia, you must report your workplace injury to your employer within 30 days of the incident. Failing to report within this time frame may jeopardize your ability to receive workers' compensation benefits.
3

What benefits am I entitled to under workers’ compensation?

Under workers' compensation in Georgia, you may be entitled to benefits that cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. If your injury results in a temporary or permanent disability, you may also receive additional compensation. The amount and duration of benefits depend on the severity of your injury and its impact on your ability to work.
4

Can I choose my own doctor for a workers' compensation claim?

In Georgia, you are generally required to choose a doctor from a list provided by your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier. This list is known as the
"panel of physicians." However, if your employer fails to provide a proper panel, or if you are not satisfied with the care you receive, you may have the option to switch doctors after certain conditions are met.
5

What if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?

If your workers' compensation claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. The first step is to request a hearing before the State Board of Workers' Compensation in Georgia. It's advisable to consult with an attorney who can help you navigate the appeals process and present a strong case on your behalf.
6

Can I be fired for filing a workers' compensation claim?

No, it is illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for filing a workers' compensation claim. This includes firing, demoting, or discriminating against you in any way. If you believe you have been retaliated against, you should contact an attorney to discuss your legal options.
7

What if my injury was caused by a third party?

If your workplace injury was caused by a third party (someone other than your
employer or a coworker), you may be able to file a separate personal injury claim in
addition to your workers' compensation claim. This can help you recover additional
compensation for pain and suffering, which is not covered under workers'
compensation.
8

How long will it take to receive workers' compensation benefits?

The timeline for receiving workers' compensation benefits can vary depending on the specifics of your case. Generally, once your claim is approved, you should start receiving benefits within a few weeks. However, if there are disputes or delays, it may take longer. An attorney can help expedite the process and ensure you receive your benefits as quickly as possible.
9

What types of injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Workers' compensation covers a wide range of injuries, including those caused by accidents (like slips and falls), repetitive stress injuries (such as carpal tunnel syndrome), and occupational diseases (like exposure to hazardous materials). As long as the injury or illness is work-related, it should be covered under workers' compensation.
10

Do I need an attorney to file a workers' compensation claim?

While you are not required to have an attorney to file a workers' compensation claim, having one can greatly increase your chances of a successful outcome. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the complex claims process, handle disputes, and ensure you receive the full benefits you are entitled to under the law.
