The first Georgia Workers’ Compensation laws were enacted in 1920. Today, Title 34, Chapter 9 of the Official Code of Georgia is the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act. There is also a multitude of caselaw interpreting the Act and Board Rules created by the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation. Attempting to understand the laws surrounding your case without a legal professional well-versed in this area of law can be disastrous for your claim.

There are several factors to take into account with Workers’ Comp claims:

• Injured workers are not required to prove negligence
• Claims do not allow for the recovery of pain and suffering
• Claims are only valid if a) the injured person is an employee, b) the employer has at least three employees, and c) if the injury was by accident and occurred during the course of employment.
