Maximize your collection of benefits for injured workers
Most employers in North Carolina are required to carry workers compensation insurance. The program pays for immediate medical care, lost wages and other benefits following an on-the-job accident.
As a result of a workers compensation injury, the law eliminates the burden of proving your employer’s negligence to recover benefits.
Your entitlements under the workers compensation system
The workers compensation program is designed to provide urgent care, continued medical treatment and short-term disability compensation. Depending on your personal circumstances, you may be entitled to payments for:
Medical treatment of your injury
Payment of your medical bills
Future medical expenses
Travel to medical care facilities
Temporary disability
Permanent partial disability
Total disability
Vocational rehabilitation
Death benefits
Filing a third-party claim
In addition to qualifying for workers compensation benefits, you may have a cause of action against a third party, such as an auto accident. We will evaluate your case to determine whether another person or corporation is liable for your accident.
For example, we may advise you to pursue damages from:
A driver who ran into your work vehicle
A business on whose poorly maintained property you tripped and fell
An equipment manufacturer that produced a defective product
