WORKERS COMPENSATION
The purpose of workers compensation laws is to make certain that those injured on the job are protected. These laws also provide benefits for dependents of those workers killed due to work-related accidents or illnesses. However, there are also laws that protect the employer and co-workers by limiting the amount an injured employee can recover from an employer and by eliminating the liability of co-workers. That's why it's important to have an experienced attorney assist you when you have been injured on the job.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT WORKERS COMPENSATION:
  • We do not charge an attorney fee unless we are successful in collecting for you. Our fee is based on a percentage of your recovery as governed by the Industrial Commission. No recovery, no fee.
  • There are time limits placed on your claim by the North Carolina General Statutes. It is imperative that you act quickly to protect your rights.
  • The Workers Compensation insurance Company may be responsible for paying your medical bills.
  • The Workers Compensation Insurance Company may also be responsible for paying lost wages per statute.
  • The Workers Compensation Insurance Company is responsible for making sure that you are treated by qualified doctors. If you are not receiving adequate care, it is possible to file a motion with the Industrial Commission to force the insurance company to refer you to a different doctor or specialist.
  • The Workers Compensation Insurance Company has lawyers working on their side. Shouldn't you?
