Georgia Workers' Comp Claims and Litigation

If you have been injured on the job in Georgia, you typically won't be able to sue a negligent employer or coworker for negligence to collect personal injury damages. Instead, your remedy is to file a workers' compensation claim. While the benefits you collect will be limited to a portion of your lost wages, usually two thirds of your normal pay (up to certain limits), and medical expenses, you won't need to prove that any party was responsible for your injuries. If you have suffered physical trauma, you may also be eligible for expenses associated with psychological or psychiatric counseling.

Sounds simple? In many cases, it is anything but easy. A claim for workers' compensation benefits can be denied on various grounds ranging from a dispute that the injury was actually suffered at work to arguing that the injury resulted from the employee's own misconduct. Contact an experienced attorney at the Delius Law Firm in Atlanta for sound advice and committed representation about your right to collect benefits, even if the claim if initially denied.
