Re: fell in parking lot of work before on clock
Assuming no other defenses are present, I would think this would be a covered claim. Whether on or off the clock is not the determinative question.
Be sure to file your claim (on Form 18) with the NC Industrial Commission within 2 years of the date of injury. Also, get a Bulletin to review the WC system and benefits available. You can go to our Links page and link to the NCIC website from there. Our site is ncworkcomp.com. Good luck!
