It depends. Did it result in death? Was there a risk of having a heart attack inherent with the work being performed? These are tricky cases, and I recommend you speak with a WC specialist to discuss details. If you suspect it is a workers' compensation case, at least make sure a claim is filed ASAP with the NC Industrial Commission. You can go to our site for more info/links at ncworkcomp.com.
