I was hurt in Georgia, but my company is from Texas. Am I covered under Georgia workers’ compensation law?

Under Georgia law, you are covered by the Georgia workers’ compensation system if you are injured in Georgia. If you were injured while working in Georgia, you should be covered under Georgia’s workers’ compensation law, regardless of where your company is based. Workers’ compensation laws are generally based on the location where the injury occurred, not the location of the employer’s headquarters.

Each state has its own workers’ compensation system, and employers are typically required to provide coverage for their employees based on the laws of the state where the employees are working. This means that even if your company is based in Texas, they are still required to provide workers’ compensation coverage for employees working in Georgia.

However, there can be some complexities in situations where employees work in multiple states or when a company has significant operations in more than one state. If you have concerns or questions about your specific case, it’s advisable to consult with an experienced workers’ compensation attorney who is familiar with both Georgia and Texas laws to ensure that your rights are protected and you receive the appropriate benefits.
