Stanley clarifies effects of Georgia Workmen's Compensation Act
Special to The Banner reports Commissioner Stanley correcting misimpressions about the act. Workers receiving employer paid compensation cannot sue the employer at common law, but may sue a third party such as a railroad or streetcar company if that party caused the injury. Some insurers seek subrogation, but the act preserves the employee's right to pursue third party claims while protecting the employer from further suits.
