Legal Question in Workers Comp in North Carolina

Re: carpal tunnel

Your doctor should review the NC Industrial Commission's Guide to Evaluation of Permanent Impairment in Workers' Compensation Cases, available on the NC Industrial Commission's website. The link can be found on our site at ncworkcomp.com.

You should consult an experienced attorney regarding your claim before you are released by your physician. You are closing in on a major junction in your claim, and making the best decision for your future is imperative.

Good luck!

Re: carpal tunnel

Thank you for your question.

You may be entitled to either ongoing payments, permanent disability payments, and/or a final settlement of your case may be negotiated. Factors to consider include future medical expenses, percent of permanent disability, ability to return to work at a commensurate wage, age, etc. I do believe you would need to reveal thius injury and any disability on future applications if asked.

Please remember that it is very difficult to give full advice on limited information, and by e-mail. As is the case many times under the law, there is not necessarily a clear answer. Cases like this cases be very fact specific and further information may be helpful.

Thank you again, and please feel free to contact us if we can provide further information.

Best Wishes,
