How to File a Claim
How To File a Georgia Worker's Compensation Claim
Any type of work-related injury calls for quick action. Tell a manager or supervisor immediately if you have suffered an injury due to a work-related activity. Any delays might result in the insurance company denying your claim or challenging the legitimacy of your injury claim.
In order to file a workers' compensation claim, you must:
- Properly notifying your employer of an injury or work-related illness.
- Providing important details such as the time and location of the injury and how the injury occurred.
- Providing a list of witnesses if a specific workplace accident caused your injury.
In Georgia, you need to complete and file a WC-14 with the state Board of Workers' Compensation and send a copy of this to both your employer and your company's insurance carrier. If you are denied compensation, a workplace injury attorney will need to help you receive your justice.
