Getting bullied by your employer to not report a work injury?
At times, a supervisor or supervisors will attempt to bully you into not reporting a claim. They may say things like, “I wouldn’t file a claim if you want to keep your job.” Or they may tell you there was no way you could have been hurt on the job, that it’s impossible. First off, don’t listen to them. I know it’s hard. However, you have a legal right to file a workers’ compensation claim if you were hurt on the job. In fact, delaying a report of a claim may be more harmful to you than actually reporting the claim.

How to file a workers’ comp claim in Roswell, GA
If you were injured on the job in Roswell (or somewhere else in Georgia), it’s important to act immediately. First and most importantly, seek medical attention and notify your manager or supervisor. If you delay too long in filing a workers’ compensation claim, insurance companies may view your claim and injury as illegitimate. Establishing a paper-trail sooner rather than later is key to preventing any accusations of a dubious claim.
When you file a formal workers’ compensation claim, the paperwork will require you to include all details about your injury and situation—including the location of the injury, how the injury occurred, date and time, and listing any potential witnesses.
Be sure to attend all follow-up medical appointments and any other critical meetings that could impact your benefits. Lastly, contact a workers’ compensation lawyer and follow their attorney’s advice to the best of your ability.
You may be covered by workers’ compensation if you’re an employee (and therefore eligible for workers’ compensation), were on the clock, and the accident occurred while you were:
- Running an errand for your boss or employer
- Making deliveries
- Transporting another employee
- Traveling for work and have no fixed office
- Commuting to or from work and are compensated by your employer for travel time

Roswell is a suburb of Atlanta in North Fulton County, GA. Its most recent population survey put the community at just over 95,000 people, and it’s known for having a bustling historical district. Roswell was a cotton town in the 1800s, with a massive cotton mill on Vickery Creek, and was surrounded by plantations. The area was named after Roswell King in 1830, and he and several other prominent families moved there to start farming cotton after migrating from Savannah.
Roswell became an incorporated town in February of 1854, and is now one of the largest cities in Georgia, ranking 8th overall. The city has been ranked on several “Best Places” lists, including CNN’s Top 100 Places to Live in the US, coming in at #76. Another interesting fact is that almost 60% of the adult population of Roswell has either a Bachelors or Graduate degree. Actor David Cross (of Arrested Development fame) and comedian Jeff Foxworthy have both called Roswell home.
Whether you grew up in Roswell or you’re a new resident, all citizens of Roswell—and indeed Georgians statewide—are entitled to certain financial benefits under the state’s workers’ compensation law after a workplace accident, injury or illness.
