What is the proper jurisdiction for a Workers' Compensation claim?
You can file a workers' compensation claim using Georgia as the jurisdiction if you were injured in Georgia. You can also file a Georgia workers' compensation claim if you were in another state when you were injured if you are working for a Georgia company or if your contract of hire was completed in the State of Georgia. Laws determining the proper jurisdiction for a work related injury can be complex. In some instances, the injured worker may get to choose among two or more jurisdictions.
