When you are hurt at work, you should report any injury to your employer as soon as possible. The employer must fill out a report of the injury and provide notification to their insurance company and the State Board of Workers’ Compensation (SBWC).
You should make sure your employer fills out the report and then ask them to give you a copy of it. When your claim happens to be denied, things may become far more complicated. The best way to ensure that you get the benefits you deserve after a workplace accident is to retain an Atlanta workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as you can.
