In North Carolina, Workers' Compensation laws are very complex.  Sometimes people who have handled their own claims have made innocent, but disastrous mistakes.  Our experience can help make sure you receive everything you rightfully deserve.

You have a right to a healthful and safe workplace.  If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you are entitled to through your employer's workers' compensation coverage.  Your employer - who is required to carry workers' compensation insurance coverage if there are more than three employees - must complete and file a Form 19, Employer's Report of Employee's Injury or Occupational Disease to the Industrial Commission, with the North Carolina Industrial Commission.  You should also receive a Form 18, Notice of Accident to Employer and Claim of Employee, Representative, or Dependant (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 97-22 through 24),  from your employer to complete and file as per the instructions on the form.

In some instances, aggressive workers' compensation carriers may deny legitimate workers' compensation claims.  An insurer can claim you have not been injured by accident, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers' compensation benefits.  If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits, weekly disability payments, medical care coverage, and job retraining.  If  you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in our area, we would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your workers' compensation claim.
