A claim with the State Board must be filed within one year of the date of injury. You can hire a lawyer or obtain the forms yourself from the Georgia State Board of Worker's Compensation. Just remember that you are going up against folks who do this every day for a living and your own lawyer will be protecting YOUR interest.
