Qualifying for Work Injury Benefits

In North Carolina, an injured worker may recover workers' compensation benefits if he or she was employed at the time of the injury and the injury was directly related to his or her employment. For example, you may be a worker at a construction site and were injured due to a fall from scaffolding. Because your injury occurred while you were carrying out the duties of your job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. This may include money for medical bills and lost wages from missed work. The amount of benefits you may be entitled to receive will typically vary depending on the extent of injury, amount of medical bills and amount of work you miss.

Although any employer with three or more employees is required to provide workers' compensation coverage for employees, there are situations where your claim may not be handled in a fair manner. Your employer may attempt to fire you or take some other type of retaliatory action against you because you suffered a work injury or are filing for workers' compensation. Your claim may have been denied, or you may simply need more information and assistance in order to properly file your claim. Whatever your particular situation, we are confident that with our experience and resources we can help. Our attorneys are also dedicated to the personal attention and one-on-one service that makes a difference in addressing our clients' needs.
