Ask Experts About Workman’s Comp Injury Forms

David asks…

georgia workman’s comp claim?

Can any one explain what is the best way to submit a workman’s comp claim in the Peach state, Georgia ? I printed out the “notice of claim ” , form WC – 14, yet i am very scared to just walk into my bosses ( the owner’s ! ) office, and say, ” Here – i want you to submit this claim on your insurance-for-me-workman’s comp account , to the State.” Yet, that is what the Dr.s office Thinks i am supposed to do ! (They are not sure ….??!!) I have a work related , i.e., CAUSED at work , injury, but i have a funny feeling he doesn’t want me to submit it. He knows I have a quote from the Throat Doctor saying it will cost $4,300 plus to do the out-patient surgery, but he never mentioned that workman’s comp is an option. I think he doesn’t want me to put it in. I wonder why …. Can any when give advice here from personal experience, or a trained legal standpoint. Thanks so much.

I am not sure on Georgia law but, I am on workers comp in NJ.

This applies to all states It is an obligation of your employer to file workers comp for you if you are truly injured on the job. It is also illegal to discriminate against you for filing a claim.
The insurance rates are based on the employers claims over the last 12 months so obviously the employer is not going to mention workers comp.

This is something you have to keep in mind, If you are injured on the job or suffer an illness caused by you employment and you seek medical attention, your regular health insurance DOES NOT have to cover it and even if they do they can make you reimburse them anything they paid for that injury or illness. Also there are time limits to notify your employer and workers comp,

The other thing you may need to look at is time lost from work, unless your employer gives you free paid time off for this injury you are going to need a lost income supplement, This is one of the benefits of workers comp. In Georgia I believe they pay 60 % of your pre-disability income. There are several good sites about workers comp including those that answer specific questions per state
