If You Are Injured On The Job, You Are Entitled To Compensation
Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws generally govern compensation for workplace injuries. Employers with three or more employees must carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover their workers who sustain injuries while on the job. But what if your employer misclassifies you as an independent contractor? If that is the case, their workers’ compensation won’t pay for your medical treatment or wage replacement.
Even if your employer’s workers’ compensation will cover your injuries, the process to file your workplace injury claim with the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation is complex. It can be overwhelming to navigate on your own without the assistance of an attorney.
If you have a workplace injury, tell your boss about it as soon as possible. Then call my office for a consultation to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible. I will help you claim benefits after a work-related injury.
