Can I Sue my Employer for an Injury That Occurred On the Job?
If you have been injured on the job in Georgia, you typically can't sue an 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 may 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 psychological trauma along with your physical injuries, you may also be eligible for expenses associated with counseling or therapy to deal with any mental issues.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? In many cases, unfortunately, it is anything but easy. A claim for workers' compensation benefits can be denied on various grounds ranging from disputing that the injury was actually suffered at work to arguing that the injury resulted from the employee's own misconduct.
Contact an experienced workers' comp attorney for sound advice and committed representation about your right to collect benefits, even if your claim was initially denied.
