A worker who has been injured must file a claim within the workers’ compensation statute of limitations. Georgia law contains three distinct provisions:
Employees typically have one year from the date of injury to file a workers’ compensation claim.
If your employee has been receiving temporary, total, or partial disability benefits, they have two years from the end of these benefits to file a claim.
After receiving medical treatment, the injured party has one year to submit the bill to you, their employer, or your workers’ compensation insurance company.
