Most employers in Georgia are required to carry worker’s compensation insurance which provides benefits for the company’s employees in the event that they are injured on the job. These insurance programs, though, do not only provide benefits for the employees but also provide a great benefit for the employer: if an employer in Georgia carries worker’s compensation insurance and an employee is injured on the job, it is likely that the employee’s only permissible recovery will be against the worker’s compensation insurance carrier and the employee will not be allowed to sue the employer for the injury which the employee sustained.

Because insurance companies are regulated by the state and because most people are covered by some policy of worker’s compensation insurance, the state has created a special board to deal with worker’s compensation claims. This board is called the State Board of Worker’s Compensation and the procedures for proceeding before the board are quite different from those for proceeding in a superior, state, or magistrate’s court. Because these procedures are so different, it is extremely important that, if you are injured on the job, you choose an attorney to represent you who is familiar with the specialized area of law and can adequately represent you before the state board and, if necessary, through the Georgia courts system.
