Can I sue someone other than my employer if I was injured in a construction fall in Georgia?

Yes. This is one of the most important points for injured construction workers to understand. Georgia’s workers’ compensation law prevents you from suing your direct employer (assuming they carry workers’ comp insurance), but it does not bar claims against any other party whose negligence caused your fall. On most construction sites, this means you may have claims against the general contractor, the property owner, a scaffolding or equipment subcontractor, an equipment manufacturer, or a site safety consultant. Identifying and pursuing all responsible third parties is essential to maximizing your recovery, and it is exactly what Haug Barron Law Group does.
