Georgia state law makes workers’ compensation the only remedy for on the job injuries. If you want compensation after being injured on the job, you must use the workers’ compensation system. Even if an employer’s negligence caused your injuries, you probably can’t sue them apart from the workers’ compensation system.
It may not be the news you wanted to hear; however, it might still be of benefit to you and many others. The tradeoff is that no matter who is at fault for your injury, you can still receive compensation under Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws, even if it was you.
On the other hand, even if you can’t sue your employer, you may still need our Duluth workers’ compensation lawyers to ensure the insurance company treats you fairly and pays you the benefits you deserve—so call us today.
