• Post Injury Management starts with the supervisor or direct report of the injured worker, not the physician ( It starts the moment you have notice of an injury or illness)
• Early Investigation is critical in obtaining accurate information, establishing events, identifying witnesses and condition which may be valuable information in the future
• Once employer (supervisor or direct report) has notice of an accident, Georgia gives 21 days for the insurer or carrier to file a position on accepting or denying the claim

• Prompt reporting, allows for timely payment of benefits and eliminates monetary fines/penalties for late benefit payments (medical and lost wages)
• Prompt reporting helps facilitates better medical management, which aids in quicker recovery and reduces potential for payment of medical conditions that may not result from injury
• Prompt reporting of claims reduces litigation and attorney involvement

• While we know that all claims are important and encourage prompt reporting
• Serious accidents call emergency only numbers listed
• Some claims require immediate assistance from GSBA but other claims of a less serious nature can be emailed or reported during regular office hours
