In Georgia, if you sustain an injury in the course and scope of your employment, you should qualify for workers' compensation benefits. At the very least the workers' compensation carrier should pay for your medical treatment. If you miss time from work, they should pay you for your lost time. However, insurance companies have a financial motive to deny claims, and frequently deny work comp claims without valid justification. If that happens, the injured worker can request that his claim be set down for a hearing. If you have questions about whether you qualify for work comp benefits, call Atlanta attorney Brian H. Sumrall at (404) 857-3835. You can also visit
