Is your out-of-state work accident covered under Georgia Workers’ Compensation?

Under the Georgia Workers’ Compensation Act, there are three requirements for an out-of-state accident to be covered under Georgia Workers’ Compensation:

1: the contract of employment must have been made in Georgia

2: either the employee’s residence or the employer’s place of business must be in Georgia; and

3: the contract of employment must not have been made for work that would have been done exclusively out of the state of Georgia.
