What is the Statute of Limitations for Workers Comp Claims in Georgia?
If you were injured on the job in the state of Georgia, you may be eligible for financial compensation. A statute of limitations is a time limit that is applied to your claim starting from the date of your accident. According to the Georgia State Board of Workers Compensation, you must file a claim within a year of the injury date, or your rights to workplace compensation are barred. As an employee in Georgia, you must notify your employer of your workplace injury within 30 days.
What are the Most Common Workplace Injuries?
Nearly any injury that occurs at work or as a result of work-related duties can be considered a workplace injury and may be covered by workers’ compensation. That being said, certain workplace injuries are more common than others.
Some examples of the top ten most common workplace injuries include:
- Back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Shoulder injuries
