What Are You Entitled To, and How Can You Get It?
For purposes of workers' compensation, it does not matter whether an accident was someone else's fault, your own fault or nobody's fault. If you have been injured at work or while performing work errands, you are probably entitled to benefits.
North Carolina's workers' compensation system can be confusing to understand. Our attorneys are available to consult with you about all of the following issues.
- Workers' compensation benefits: Injured workers are entitled to benefits for total or partial wage loss, medical treatment, and permanent total or partial disability. Benefits are also available for the families of workers who have been killed on the job.
- Workplace injuries: Our attorneys help injured employees pursue workers' compensation benefits not only for workplace accidents but also for repetitive motion injuries, occupational diseases and back injuries.
- Frequent workers' comp questions: Before making any decisions about your workers' compensation claim, it is important to separate myth from fact. We are dedicated to helping clients make informed decisions.
- Truck drivers and workers' comp: Under North Carolina's special workers' compensation laws for truckers, you may be entitled to benefits even if you are an owner/operator or independent contractor.
- How your workers' comp case will progress: Whether you are seeking help with an initial workers' compensation claim or a claim that has already been denied, our attorneys will carefully guide you through the process.
If you've been injured in a construction accident or suffered any other type of workplace injury, please contact us to discuss your claim for benefits with an experienced workers' compensation lawyer.
