Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation Annual Report
The State Board of Workers' Compensation Annual Report is an interesting document published by the State Board of Workers' Compensation. In my opinion, too many people ignore it to their detriment. I don't know why the 2005 Annual Report is not out yet. I keep a copy in my desk drawer for reference. It tells us interesting information. For example, the most common body part injured is the back at 10% of all reported injuries and 11% of all injuries reporting lost time from work. It also tells us that claims have declined overall and insurance companies are paying less than in years past.
The average settlement amount of a workers' compensation case in 2004, according to the report, is $25,115.08.
