What types of injuries are covered with Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
Generally speaking, the types of injuries that you can expect to be covered under Workers’ Compensation Insurance are called compensable injuries.
In order to be considered a “compensable injury,” the incident must occur within the course and scope of employment. In other words, the activity must have to do with and/or originate in the work, business, profession or trade of the employer. This activity must be conducted on the premise of the employer, or at another associated location.
Also, the injury must have occurred when the employee was engaged in or about the progression of business or affairs of the employer.
Workers’ Compensation laws and requirements are constantly changing. In order to stay ahead of the curve and aware of the best offers the industry has to present, you’ll need an expert on your team.

What Determines a Workers’ Compensation Injury?
October 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
A workers’ compensation injury involves any harm that occurred on the job. How and where you were injured are key components of determining a GA Workers Comp Injury.
Oftentimes, the accident and injuries associated with the accident are obvious—for example, it’s evident that the accident happened at work and the injuries were clearly a result of the accident. Take Pete’s Georgia Moving Service trips and breaks his leg, the injury is immediate and obvious.
However, there are instances of injury when it isn’t as obvious. Repetitive actions, such as picking up heavy objects over a period of months or years can also be a Georgia workers compensation injury. This situation is called an “occupational disease.” The damage may go unnoticed for long periods of time, but eventually the injury becomes major and disabling in some way. If Pete’s Georgia Moving Service requires employees to breathe in chemical fumes and a year later causes a serious life-threatening disease, Pete would can be covered with most Georgia workers’ compensation insurance policies.
Every workers’ compensation policy is different and thus, coverages are subjective and need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. It’s important to review your workers compensation coverage with your select insurance agent.
