The vast majority of Georgia businesses are required to carry workers' comp insurance. According to the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation: "Georgia requires most employers with three or more full-time, part-time or seasonal employees to have workers' compensation insurance. If the business is incorporated or an LLC, the corporate officers or members are included in the three or more employee count regardless of whether they exempt themselves from coverage." All employers who regularly employ three or more people are required by Georgia law to carry workers' compensation insurance. Failure to carry workers' comp when the law requires it can result in an employer being fined or criminally prosecuted. That employer may also be sued by the injured worker for damages related to their workplace injury. It's important to note the types of employment that are not covered by Georgia's workers' compensation law: domestic servants, farm laborers, railroad workers, and US government agencies. Many of these industries are governed by their own unique statutes regarding on-the-job injuries.
