Understanding Workplace Accident Claims in Georgia

Workplace injuries may fall under different legal frameworks depending on the situation:
  • Workers’ Compensation (covers medical care and partial wage benefits) 
  • Third-Party Injury Claims (if someone other than your employer caused the accident) 
  • Premises Liability (dangerous conditions at a job site) 
  • Product Liability (defective machinery or tools) 
Our attorneys evaluate every angle to determine the maximum path for recovery, not just the minimum benefits available through workers’ compensation.

Who Is Liable for a Workplace Accident?

While workers’ compensation may provide partial benefits, it does not cover everything—especially pain and suffering. Additional compensation may be available if a third party is responsible, such as:

Subcontractors

Equipment manufacturers

Property owners

Maintenance companies

Drivers involved in work-related crashes

Our firm investigates all potential liable parties to ensure you receive full compensation, not just the limited benefits from workers’ comp.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 Yes. If a third party—such as a contractor, supplier, or equipment manufacturer—caused your injury, you may pursue a separate personal injury claim in addition to workers’ compensation.

Workers’ compensation is typically no-fault, meaning you can still receive benefits even if you were partially responsible.

Workers’ compensation claims must be reported quickly, and personal injury lawsuits generally must be filed within two years in Georgia.

No — but a third-party claim can. Our firm determines whether you qualify for additional compensation beyond workers’ comp.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning no fees unless we secure compensation for you.
