Can I sue my employer for a chemical exposure injury at a Georgia factory?

In most cases, Georgia’s Workers’ Compensation Act (O.C.G.A. § 34-9-11) bars direct lawsuits against your direct employer. However, if a third party — such as a chemical manufacturer, equipment supplier, property owner, or contractor — contributed to your injury, you may bring a separate third-party personal injury lawsuit against them. This is where the largest recoveries typically occur. HBLG will identify every potential third-party defendant in your case.
