Citizenship or Proper Documentation Not Required For NC Workers' Comp
The First Thing to Do After Being Injured On-the-job
NC workers compensation attorney Brent Adams says that the first thing you should do after being injured on the job is seek medical care.
There is no requirement that an injured worker in North Carolina be a United States citizen in order to recover workers' compensation benefits. Neither is there any requirement that the worker have proper documentation. A worker may be an illegal immigrant and still recover full workers' compensation benefits.
You should not hesitate to bring a workers' compensation claim even if you do not have proper documentation to be in the United States. Schedule a free consultation with a workers' comp lawyer in Raleigh or one of our other nearby locations - 877-BRENT-ADAMS.
