We will answer your NC workers comp questions such as:

• Is My Injury Covered by Workers' Compensation? An injury is covered if an employee was carrying out activities to benefit the employer and suffered the injury by accident, specific traumatic incident, or occupational disease. An accident is something that interrupts the regular work routine like a trip or fall. A specific traumatic incident refers to an injury to the back that is a direct result of the work activity; and an occupational disease is an illness or condition that develops due to work conditions.

• How Can I Get Workers' Compensation? The first steps to collecting workers' compensation in North Carolina are to report the injury to your employer and to seek appropriate medical treatment. Generally, you should first tell your employer that you were injured and get medical treatment from a health care provider designated by your employer. However, if you need emergency medical care then you should get it and inform your employer as soon as possible. Notification is a very important start to your workers' compensation claim. It is never too early to consult with an experienced workers' compensation attorney regarding your work injury.

• What Will Worker's Comp Provide Me? Workers' compensation is designed to provide you with compensation for your medical costs, lost income and partial or total disability. An injured worker is entitled to compensation for all of his or her medical expenses, for two thirds of his or her average weekly wages up to the cap set by North Carolina law, and for other expenses incurred as a direct result of his or her injuries.

• Other Questions that are Important to You!
