from Ty Wilson Law Podcast · host Ty Wilson
So what is a claimant? A claimant is someone who brings forth the claimor starts the claim. Usually it is the injured worker. So really you can use those terms interchangeably. You can say claimant, injured worker, employee and usually on the other side of it you have the employer, the insurer. We don't really use the term defendant in a workers compensation claim. It's an administratively based system. And so you usually have the claimant. And then the employer, and the insurance or insurer. Anyway those are the parties that tend to show up in Georgia workers compensation claims. Let us know if you have any other questions.CALL US ► 912-208-2992TEXT US ► 912-233-1100EMAIL US ► [email protected] • Website• Facebook• Pinterest
