Seeking Compensation for Workplace Spinal Injuries

Identifying the Causes of Your Injuries or Pain
Because back injuries are so common, North Carolina workers' compensation law treats them a little differently from other types of workplace injuries. There are two main types of back injuries that are eligible for workers' compensation benefits.
- Specific traumatic incidents: Some back injuries are clearly caused by attempts to lift heavy objects, falls, auto accidents and other one-time accidents.
- Repeated exertion: Some back injuries can be identified as work-related if your back started hurting while you were regularly exerting yourself over an identifiable time period.
If you have experienced back pain or hernia either suddenly or over time as a result of your work, our attorneys can help you seek the workers' compensation benefits you deserve.
