FAQ – What You Need To Know for the Fight Ahead

What Are an Injured Worker’s First Responsibilities?

As an injured worker, you must first report your injury to a supervisor immediately. Then, seek medical attention from a physician on the employer’s posted panel of doctors. Following these two steps protects your eligibility for benefits.

How Long Does an Employee Have To Report a Work Injury in Georgia?

In Georgia, an employee generally has 30 days from the date of the injury (or the date they first became aware of the injury) to notify their employer. 

If you fail to give proper notice, you may risk losing your workers’ compensation benefits—and you still must file a formal claim with the State Board within the one-year limitation period.

Can My Employer Fire Me for Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim?

Georgia law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who file workers’ compensation claims. Firing an employee for this reason constitutes wrongful termination. If you believe your employer has terminated you in retaliation, you may have grounds for a separate legal action.

What Happens if My Workers’ Comp Claim Gets Denied?

If your workers’ compensation claim in Georgia is denied (either completely or partially), you have the right to challenge that decision. The insurer or employer may issue a denial of benefits, after which your attorney can file a Form WC-14 with the State Board of Workers’ Compensation to request a hearing before an administrative law judge. 

At that hearing, your attorney can represent you and present evidence on your behalf.

Why Do I Need a Georgia Workers’ Compensation Lawyer for My Case?

You need a Georgia workers’ compensation lawyer because your employer’s insurance carrier has legal representation. An attorney protects your rights, manages the complex legal procedures, and fights tactics used to deny or limit your claim. 

An attorney works to secure all the medical and wage benefits available to you under the law.
