Workers' Compensation

Abstract
The Georgia General Assembly made no substantive changes to the Workers' Compensation Act in 2008. Additionally, the Georgia appellate courts took relatively few cases on appeal, and most of these addressed areas of law that are already well-established. Because many workers' compensation cases now require practitioners to address the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, the history, impact, and involvement of that legislation on Georgia claims is also addressed in this Article.
