Workers’ Comp vs. a Personal Injury Claim
The two work differently. In some cases you can pursue both, and our team handles both.
| Workers’ comp | Personal injury claim | |
|---|---|---|
| Who pays | Your employer’s comp insurer | The at-fault party’s insurer |
| Do you prove fault? | Generally no | Yes |
| Lost wages | A portion of your average weekly wage, up to a state cap | Full lost wages you can prove |
| Pain and suffering | Not covered | Can be included |
| General deadline | Usually 1 year to file a claim | Usually 2 years to file a lawsuit |

Questions About Work Injuries and Car Crashes
Can I file workers’ comp and an injury claim at the same time?
If you were hurt in a crash while working and another driver caused it, you may have a workers’ comp claim and a separate injury claim against the at-fault driver.
What does workers’ comp cover in Georgia?
Workers’ comp generally covers medical treatment and part of lost wages for job injuries, without proving fault. It does not pay for pain and suffering.
What can an injury claim add?
A claim against an at-fault driver can include losses workers’ comp does not cover, such as pain and suffering and full lost wages.
Does Gunn Law Group handle both claims?
Yes. Our team handles both workers’ comp and personal injury claims, so one team can coordinate them.
