Representing Permanently Disabled Workers
If you have become disabled due to a workplace injury and can no longer work, your employer must compensate you for your loss of income and other expenses associated with your disability, no matter who was at fault for your injuries.
At the law firm of Grandy & Martin in Charlotte, we help disabled workers pursue permanent total disability settlements. Contact us to schedule a free consultation with an experienced workers' compensation attorney. You will not pay anything unless we help you obtain benefits.
Seeking a Fair Settlement Package From Your Employer
If you are permanently unable to work due to your workplace injuries, your employer is required to pay you permanent total disability compensation under North Carolina workers' compensation law. This benefit usually comes in the form of a lump sum settlement.
Any permanent total disability settlement should be enough to fully compensate you for your future wage loss as well as any future medical needs you may have.
Your specific work background may affect your permanent total disability status. If there are jobs that you are physically able to do, but you do not have the education or experience required for those jobs, you may still be entitled to permanent total disability benefits.
Our law firm has been representing injured workers for more than 25 years and is prepared to stand up for the permanent total disability benefits you deserve.
Maximizing Your Total Benefits From Workers' Comp and Social Security
If you are disabled from working, you may be eligible for Social Security disability insurance benefits (SSDIB) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Depending on how your workers' compensation settlement is drafted, it could impact your Social Security benefits.
Our attorneys are experienced at maximizing our clients' benefits by negotiating permanent total disability settlements with appropriate language. To discuss your case with a knowledgeable workers' compensation lawyer, contact us today.
