In Georgia, workers' compensation settlements have to be approved by the State Board of Workers' Compensation. Generally, the State Board approves settlement agreements very quickly. Once a settlement is approved, the Employer/Insurer have twenty days to issue settlement checks. If you have any questions about settling your Atlanta, GA workers' comp claim, contact Brian H.
