Re: work injury
Although more facts are needed to fully address the situation, I can offer this point: if the subsequent problem was a natural and probable consequence of the original injury, then the workers' compensation carrier needs to pay. You may also have a new injury compensable in its own right.
Make sure you have filed a NCIC Form 18 with the NC Industrial Commission ASAP. Also review the Bulletin, both of which can be found on the IC website. You can link to the IC website from our site, which has other helpful information as well, at: ncworkcomp.com.
