If you have suffered a work-related injury or occupational illness, you should not be left dealing with medical bills and lost income on your own. North Carolina workers’ compensation benefits exist to help cover medical treatment and wage replacement after a qualifying injury. Our workers’ compensation attorneys represent employees in Raleigh, Wendell, and surrounding areas who were hurt on the job or became ill due to workplace conditions.
Understanding Workers’ Compensation in North Carolina
The North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act allows eligible employees to seek benefits for a work-related injury without filing a civil lawsuit, which can reduce delays and the cost of litigation. In most situations, employers are required to carry insurance that provides benefits for injuries and certain occupational illnesses that arise from employment. Even when coverage exists, claims can be delayed, disputed, or denied. Speaking with a workers’ compensation lawyer early can help you understand deadlines, required filings, and what documentation may be needed to support your claim.
