This Law Firm Publication by Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLP discusses Brown Mechanical Contractors, Inc. v. Maughon, a recent Georgia Court of Appeals decision affirming the Georgia Board of Workers' Compensation's denial of benefits. The decision shows that the court will not infer that an applicant for temporary total disability workers' compensation benefits conducted a diligent job search based on a ledger of purported job searches. Instead, the court scrutinized gaps in the claimant's job search, the types of jobs for which the claimant applied and failures by the claimant to follow-up on job opportunities.
