Workers’ Compensation Basics in Georgia.
Workers’ compensation in Georgia is a mandatory, no-fault insurance system for businesses with three or more employees. It pays for medical treatment and partial lost wages after a workplace injury — even if it was completely the worker’s fault — however, it is the exclusive remedy and bars injured workers from bringing civil lawsuits against their employer, with a few exceptions (such as intentional harm). Workers must report the accident within 30 days or they may lose their benefits.
While workers cannot sue their employer, they can sue a third party whose negligence contributed to their injuries.
