Starting Your Georgia Workers' Compensation Claim
A WC-14 form can be obtained online at the State Board of Workers' Compensation website. After you have completed the WC-14, you need to make sure that your employer and their workers' compensation insurance carrier receive a copy.
If you are unsure about who your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier is, you can contact the coverage desk at the State Board of Workers' Compensation by calling 404-656-3692.
How a Doraville Workers' Compensation Lawyer Can Help
