North Carolina Workers' Compensation

NORTH CAROLINA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAWYERS GIVE FREE CONSULTATIONS ON WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIMS, BENEFITS AND LAWS

Welcome to the North Carolina workers’ compensation law and benefits web site.  In this site we will inform you, the injured worker, concerning your legal rights if you have been injured in a work injury.  We have experienced workers’ compensation lawyers to help injured workers and to assist workers’ compensation victims in collecting the full benefits to which they are entitled.  A North Carolina workers’ compensation lawyer will answer any question you have concerning your claim.  Our lawyers are available to you by phone or in person.

 

North Carolina workers’ compensation information is available on this web site to help injured workers collect their workers’ compensation insurance.  Examine the articles contained in the workers’ compensation library for details on various aspects of workers’ compensation law.

 

Injured workers can also check out our “Question and Answer” section on this site to answer many of the important questions injured workers have about their claim for North Carolina workers’ compensation benefits.

 

The injured worker should understand that North Carolina workers’ compensation insurance adjusters are not on their side.  It is their job to save the insurance companies money.  Their job is to pay out as little money as possible to North Carolina’s injured workers.

 

If you or a loved one has been injured at work, or if you suffer from an occupational disease, please give us a call toll free at 1-800-849-5931.  There is no cost for a consultation and the injured worker is under no obligation to hire us.  We will discuss your workers’ compensation claim, help you determine whether you need a lawyer, and the steps you should take to protect your rights.

 

Do not expect your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance adjuster to explain your rights to you.  That is not their job and it, therefore, will not happen.

 

Knowledge is power.  The only way a North Carolina injured worker can be protected is with knowledge; knowledge of the law and knowledge of North Carolina’s workers’ compensation system.  That is why we have written a book especially for North Carolina’s injured workers.  This book will level the playing field and eliminate the disadvantages that an injured worker has in dealing with North Carolina’s workers’ compensation system.  To get this important workers’ compensation book, fill out the form on this page and we will send you our book.  The book is free for injured workers in North Carolina.

 

If after reading our book you feel that you need the services of a North Carolina workers’ compensation lawyer, call our toll-fee number at 1-800-849-5931 for a free no-obligation in-person consultation with a workers’ compensation lawyer.

 

Benefits available to injured workers in North Carolina fall under three main categories:

 

1.  Wage replacement:      North Carolina workers’ compensation law provides that an injured worker who is unable to do any work is entitled to be paid two-thirds of his average weekly wage.  These benefits will be paid to the injured worker until he is able to return to work.  These workers’ compensation benefits are tax-free.

 

2.  Payment of all related medical expenses:       North Carolina workers’ compensation law requires the employer to pay all medical expenses related to the worker’s accident or occupational disease.  The employer is required to pay 100% of the approved medical bills.  The medical providers cannot charge the injured worker directly for these medical services.

 

3.  Compensation for permanent impairment:     North Carolina workers’ compensation law requires the employer to pay the injured worker for any permanent impairment of a body part.  The amount of benefits to be paid for an impaired body part depends upon the part of the body that is impaired and the degree and extent of impairment.

 

In addition, North Carolina’s workers’ compensation law provides other benefits to injured workers.  See our book for a discussion of these further benefits. 

 

Our NC workers’ compensation lawyers will answer your questions and, in an appropriate case, will help you obtain a substantial settlement for your claim.

 

Among the issues our lawyers will assist you with are the following: 

·                    Whether you have sufficient grounds to be entitled to workers'compesnation benefits;

 ·                 The amount of workers’ compensation benefits to which you are  entitled;

·                    How long you will be able to recover workers’ compensation benefits;

·                    What medical expenses must your employer pay;

·                    Whether you need an attorney to handle your workers’ compensation case;

·                    How to choose the right workers’ compensation lawyer;

·                    How to deal with workers’ compensation doctors;

·                    How to deal with workers’ compensation vocational rehabilitation counselors;

·                    What you, the injured worker, can do to protect your claim;

·                    How to handle a job interview;

·                    Cautions about private detectives;

·                    Whether or not you should return to work;

·                    The kind of work you can do after you recuperate from your injuries.

If you were financially dependent upon a North Carolina worker killed in an on-the-job accident you may be entitled to death benefits from the employer’s insurance company.

 

North Carolina workers’ compensation law is very complex and confusing.  Temporary total disability benefits, temporary partial disability benefits, permanent partial disability benefits, permanent and total disability benefits, workers’ compensation settlements, and death benefits are all governed by special statutes specific to North Carolina and its injured workers.

 

By studying the information contained on this web site, and by reading our free book for North Carolina’s injured workers, you will gain understanding and knowledge to calm your fears and to help you approach the medical and legal processes more confidently.
