by

My mom got injured on the job severly and they say she cannot get workmans comp because the place didnt have it. She fell in a cooler and because they can’t prove it was wet she can’t do anything. Can you help her?

Jodi Ginsberg responds: First you should call the State Board of workers’ compensation at 404-656-3692. Tell the receptionist that you need to verify an employer’s coverage. Give them the name of employer and date of accident.

They will then tell you if there is workers comp insurance coverage. Do not believe the employer if they tell you there is no coverage. You need to confirm it with the Board. If there is coverage please call me at 770-351-0801 to discuss as we can then determine if there is a case to pursue.
