In most cases, if you are injured while working in Georgia, you are eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits. But you’re not always guaranteed to receive benefits, even if you were hurt at work while doing your job. Some of the reasons why your workers’ compensation claim might be denied include: - An employer or insurance company claims you’re not really hurt. - An employer or insurance company claims you sustained your injury outside of work. - A doctor chosen by your employer’s insurance company downplays the severity of your injury. You know your body best. If something doesn’t feel right, you shouldn’t be forced to return to work before you fully recover. That’s why we want to meet with you. ### Results matter – and so does your claim ![An Atlanta man with an injured arm going over workers' comp paperwork](https://assets.garymartinhays.com/wp-content/uploads/20241029110159/atlanta-workers-compensation.png) Our Atlanta workers’ compensation attorneys know how to investigate workplace accidents and find the facts that matter. We then use this evidence to build a compelling case. Often, the State Board of Workers’ Compensation in Georgia agrees to grant workers’ compensation applications based on our findings.

The same is true if someone working for a company other than yours caused your workplace injury. In such cases, you may be eligible to file a [third-party claim](https://www.garymartinhays.com/workers-compensation/third-party-claim/) from the company responsible for your injuries.
