Georgia workers' compensation is a type of insurance that provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. It is a no-fault system, meaning that injured workers do not have to prove that their employer was at fault for the injury in order to receive benefits. When an employee is injured on the job or develops an occupational illness, they can file a workers' compensation claim with their employer's insurance company. The claim includes details about the injury or illness, how it occurred, and the medical treatment received. The insurance company then reviews the claim and determines the eligibility for benefits. If the claim is approved, the injured worker can receive various benefits, including medical treatment coverage, compensation for lost wages, vocational rehabilitation, and disability benefits. These benefits aim to cover medical expenses, ensure income continuation, and assist in the worker's recovery and return to work. It is important for workers to report any work-related injury or illness to their employer as soon as possible to initiate the workers' compensation process. Failure to report within the specified timeframe may result in the denial of benefits.
