#235 Georgia Workers' Compensation Lawyer - How Are the Parties Referred To in A Georgia Workers Compensation Claim?

So as lawyers, we have all that words that seem possibly foreign to some people. So, I was asked to explain, “What is a claimant?”. A claimant is someone who brings forth a claim in a workers compensation claim. What is a defendant, well, we really don't use the term defendant because it's administratively based. So you usually have the claimant or the injury worker, also known as the employee. And then on the other side of the matter you have the employer and the insurance company. And those are usually just referred to as the employer and the insurance company. And so, those are the terms for that deposition that's a sworn testimony under oath. Question and answer session with you as the claimant typically and the employer and sure will have their attorney. If you have an attorney they'll be there with you where they should be.
