Legal Question in Workers Comp in North Carolina

Re: injury at work

Did you report the injury already to your employer? They should pay for your medical treatment and lost wages. If you need legal representation, please let me know what city you are in and I'd be glad to refer you to a specialist.

Re: injury at work

You likely have a compensable claim that needs to be filed with the North Carolina Industrial Commission. You need to file a Form 18 (within 2 years of your injury date), Form 33 (request for hearing) if your case is denied by the insurance company and read the Bulletin regarding how the system works.

You are entitled to medical treatment, wage loss benefits and permanent partial benefits under the law.

You can read more on the items noted above by going to the NCIC's website, a link for which can be located at our site at ncworkcomp.com. Good luck!
