Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws protect most employers from lawsuits. However, some work-related injuries happen because of a third party’s negligence. If your injury happened this way, you may be able to sue the liable third party or file a claim with their insurer. You may also be able to seek a settlement through workers’ compensation insurance, and an Alpharetta workers’ compensation lawyer can lead the way.
It can be difficult merely to understand if you have grounds for a third-party claim. Allow our firm of attorneys (including a former lawyer for the insurance companies) to help. Call Bader Scott Injury Lawyers today to learn more about what our lawyers can do for you. We offer free consultations.
Our Team Can Handle Both Your Workers’ Compensation and Your Third-Party Claim in Alpharetta
Georgia law requires employers with three or more employees to maintain workers’ compensation insurance. This insurance generally:
- Prohibits employees who were injured at work or developed a work-related illness from suing their employer
- Entitles injured and sick workers to pursue compensation through the workers’ comp policy
However, workers’ compensation laws do not prohibit employees from suing other parties whose negligence caused or contributed to their injury or illness.
You may be eligible to file a claim with your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance provider. You may also be able to sue a negligent third party. Your attorney from our Alpharetta team will:
