The .gov means it’s official.

Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. State of Georgia government websites and email systems use “georgia.gov” or “ga.gov” at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you’re on an official state website.

Please keep in mind that we cannot provide legal advice or recommendations about the value of your workers’ compensation claim. We may be reached at 404-656-2929.
