Your Voice When It Matters
Your Voice When It Matters
If you are injured at your place of work, while on the job, you may be eligible to file a workers’ compensation claim. Companies with 3 or more employees are required to carry NC workers’ compensation insurance, so long as you are not an independent contractor or volunteer, you should be able to file a claim. However, if you are unable to file a claim, if your claim is denied, or if you don’t feel you are getting the benefits that deserve, contact Paul Robinson Law, PLLC, for a free case evaluation. Our workers’ compensation lawyers in Clayton have the knowledge and experience you want to make sure that you are fairly compensated for your injuries.
Workers’ Compensation is a program that was put in place to make sure that you have financial security if you are injured by accident at work. If you are injured in an accident at work, you have 30 days, from the date of the incident, to inform your employer about the injury, in writing.
Once you have informed your employer, you must file a claim with the NCIC (North Carolina Industrial Commission) within 2 years. As a “no-fault” program, you do not have to prove the the accident was someone else’s fault, you only need to prove that you were injured while doing your job. NC workers’ compensation provides both medical payments and wage replacements, so long as they are eligible.
Unfortunately, things don’t always work as smoothly as they should. Sometimes employers don’t carry the required insurance, other times insurance carriers deny claims. You may also have your claim accepted, but may want to seek a second opinion about your injuries that might not be covered. If you are having issues with your claim, you should speak to the Clayton workers’ compensation lawyer at Paul Robinson Law, PLLC. We will work hard to make sure that you get the compensation you deserve if you have been injured on the job.
Many people don’t get injured at work very often, which means that filing a workers’ compensation claim can be an unfamiliar experience, which is fairly complex. Without knowing your rights or the compensation you are entitled to, an insurance company may deny your claim, or portions of it.
Many insurance companies are more worried about their bottom line than your health, and so they might deny medical treatment that is necessary to your recovery. Other times, your initial application can be unjustly denied because of a clerical error or a missed deadline. This is why you should engage a workers’ compensation attorney in Raleigh as soon as you have been injured.
At Paul Robinson Law, PLLC, we can help you file your claim and we will help you understand the benefits that you are entitled to, so you can get the financial compensation you deserve.
