Can I sue someone other than my employer if I was injured at work in Georgia?

Yes. Georgia law under O.C.G.A. § 34-9-11.1 preserves your right to sue negligent third parties — such as property owners, equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, or negligent drivers — even while receiving workers’ compensation benefits from your employer. A third-party lawsuit can recover pain and suffering, full lost wages, and other damages that workers’ comp never provides.
