Charlotte Work Comp Attorneys With Decades of Experience
At Grandy & Martin, the entire focus of our law practice is on helping injured people get benefits and compensation they need. We know from over 25 years of experience that many types of disputes can arise over on-the-job accidents and injuries, and we are dedicated to asserting all our clients' rights under workers' compensation law.
If you have encountered any problem with your workers' compensation claim or benefits, you can turn to us with confidence. Our experience extends to filing many motions in the effort to resolve disputes quickly and to building strong cases for our clients when mediation is required. We also provide effective representation of injured workers in hearings administered by the North Carolina Industrial Commission and presided over by a Deputy Commissioner.
Advocating for the Coverage, Medical Care and Other Benefits You Deserve
Motions, mediations, hearings and appeals may be necessary due to many types of dispute between you as an injured worker and your employer's workers' compensation insurer. Some common disputed issues might involve:
- Your employer's refusal to report your injury or acknowledge that it is covered by workers' compensation
- Refusals to cover necessary medical expenses, or a denial of your petition to get medical care from a qualified provider other than the one designated for you
- Unfair or premature termination of your benefits — or a stoppage of your weekly checks without notice
- Denial of workers' compensation insurance coverage on the basis that your employer considers you an "independent contractor"
- Technical issues including your failure to meet a filing requirement or deadline
