Hurt on the Job? Get Help Recovering Your Workers Compensation Claim

The law provides that most employers must carry workers compensation insurance and file their workers compensation claim. Accidents at the workplace are common, especially if you work in a dangerous industry.

Workers Compensation Insurance

By carrying this type of insurance, the employer is given immunity from most types of lawsuits involving on-the-job injuries. If your employer has worker’s compensation insurance, it eliminates the burden of proving that your employer’s negligence was the cause of your injury.

Unfortunately, the system is often complicated and difficult for workers seeking relief. If you suffered injury while working for your employer, a Charlotte worker’s compensation attorney can protect your rights and ensure that you receive the payments to which you are entitled.

North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act

Pursuant to the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act, when you are injured at the workplace, you may be entitled to receive payments for:

Workers Compensation Claim

You should never go back to your job and work while you are injured. Unfortunately, this happens all across North Carolina.
