If you have been injured at work, report the injury immediately. This is an extremely crucial step in ensuring your work injury claim is compliant with the NC Industrial Commission and the General Assembly.

Even if you miss this deadline, file your claim as soon as you can. We represent clients who suffer from a variety of injuries including:
Clients often encounter problems when their employer claims the injury is the result of a preexisting condition. However, an employer hires an employee “as is,” meaning they hired the employee knowing of this pre-existing condition. You may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits if the pre-existing condition is aggravated by your work duties. We also represent close family members who have lost a loved one in a fatal work accident. We can help pursue a wrongful death claim for the tragic loss of your loved one. Contact our lawyer if you sustained an on-the-job injury. |
