Call the police immediately if the collision injured either you or the other driver.

After law enforcement writes their report, ask the officer(s) on scene how you can obtain a copy for your own records in order to file an injury claim. The police report acts as the first piece of evidence gathered in your case. Reports typically take three to five days to process. Don’t forget this detail among all the other aspects of your accident claim.

Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws are intended to be “liberally construed” meaning that as a matter of public policy, benefits should be awarded to a claimant who suffers and injury while on the clock. Both the Georgia workers compensation statute and courts interpreting that statute do allow employers to deny claims based on certain conduct on the part of the injured worker. For example, an employer can deny a claim that is otherwise payable if the injured employee was drunk or under the influence of illegal drugs at the time of the accident.
