Workers' Compensation: Why Hire a Lawyer?

Proven Work Comp Attorneys in Charlotte, North Carolina

Not everyone who gets injured on the job needs a lawyer, but many issues can come up that make having a knowledgeable advocate on your side critical for your finances and future. At Grandy & Martin in Charlotte, we have been a dependable, results-oriented resource for injured workers since opening our law firm in 1984.

We will welcome your call and offer guidance no matter how you were injured on the job and even if you have been told by your employer or coworkers that you cannot pursue a claim. However, it can be especially important to contact us if, for example:

  • You have suffered any type of permanent injury or one that will keep you off the job for a long period of time
  • Your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company is disputing any aspect of your claim or delaying payments you believe you should receive
  • You have concerns about balancing and maximizing the value of work comp, Medicare, Social Security disability or other government benefits
  • You are dealing with an unfair termination of benefits, being told you must return to work before you are able to, or facing the pressure of medical bills the insurer will not pay
  • You have concerns that you may need significant, further medical treatment in the future

Why Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer? Your Rights Are Worth Defending.

Workers' compensation law is complex, but attorneys Bill Grandy and Ken Martin can explain your rights clearly and take appropriate action for you. There are many misconceptions about workers' comp law, and what co-workers or others tell you may not be correct. We focus on critical issues such as:

  • Advocating assertively for you to receive appropriate medical treatment — not just the treatment provided by the doctor your employer requires you to see
  • Asserting your rights to vocational rehabilitation, retraining or education if you cannot return to your previous job
  • If appropriate, targeting a lump sum settlement via a workers' compensation mediation and, if necessary, a hearing or appeal if your claim is wrongfully denied or delayed
