Workers' Compensation in North Carolina
In many cases, workers' compensation works the way it is supposed to: a person injured in a workplace accident receives medical care and a percentage of wages while recovering from injuries. If you suffered an on-the-job injury and your employer or the employer's insurance carrier questions whether you were injured at work or how serious your injuries are, talk to a board-certified workers' compensation attorney at David Gantt Law Office in Asheville, North Carolina.

We can explain the North Carolina workers' compensation process.
The North Carolina General Assembly created the workers' compensation program. The North Carolina Industrial Commission (IC) is the court where workers' compensation claims are decided. As your lawyer, David will represent you through the claims process.
Clients generally seek legal counsel after their initial claim has been denied. The claim can be denied for a variety of reasons. The Industrial Commission may claim that the accident "did not occur under the law" or claim the injured worker did not give timely notice.
