What Is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is provided by an employer after an employee is injured on the job. Workers’ compensation generally covers medical expenses related to the workplace injury along with a portion of the injured employee’s wages. By accepting workers’ compensation, an employee gives up his or her right to file a lawsuit against the employer. Some important facts about workers’ compensation in Georgia are:

• State law determines your weekly check. We cannot change it.
• You cannot receive compensation for pain and suffering through a workers’ compensation settlement.
• Although your health should be a priority after your accident, your employer is not required to allow you to see a doctor within a certain time frame.
• Employers are required to post the panel of physicians from whom you can seek medical attention somewhere in your workplace. If it is not readily available, it is important to obtain a copy from your employer.
