You are still entitled to workers' compensation benefits even if you were at fault for your on the job injury.

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
