| You are still entitled to workers' compensation benefits even if you were at fault for your on the job injury. |
| Posted By Brian Sumrall |
 |
| Generally speaking, the Georgia Workers' Compensation System is a "no fault" system. That means, it does not mater if you caused your work related injury, or if you were responsible for your work accident. The Georgia workers’ compensation system is designed to protect all employees who are injured on the job subject to some limited exceptions. Thus, you are most likely still entitled to workers’ compensation benefits even if you were the cause of you own injury. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss your Georgia workers’ compensation claim with an experienced workers’ comp attorney, please contact Atlanta work injury attorney Brian Sumrall at (404)924-4595 or (866)430-4962 for a free consultation, or visit

| Reasons you may need an attorney to assist you with your Atlanta work injury claim. |
| Posted By Brian Sumrall |
|
There are several reasons you might need an Atlanta workers' compensation attorney to represent you following a workplace injury. First, there are deadlines for filing a claim and notifying your employer of your injury, and your claim may be barred if you miss one of those deadlines. Further, an employer or insurance company might not voluntarily provide you all of the benefits to which you are entitled under the Georgia Workers’ Compensation Act. Having a knowledgeable attorney handle your claim helps ensure that your rights are protected, and ensures you receive maximum recovery allowed under the law. If you have any doubt as to whether you need a lawyer to assist you with your work injury claim, contact Atlanta work injury attorney Brian H. Sumrall at (404)924-4595 or visit

If your claim is designated as catastrophic, you could be entitled to receive income benefits for the remainder of your life.
