North Carolina Workers' Compensation Attorneys

If you have suffered an injury while at work, you should speak with an attorney about filing for benefits through the North Carolina workers' compensation system.  In order to recover workers' compensation benefits you must establish two things:

1. You were employed when the injury took place.

2. The injury was a direct result of your employment.  This means your injuries must have been caused by the tasks you were required to perform as part of your job.  For example, if your job duties required you to install electrical wiring and you were electrocuted at work, you would be entitled to benefits through the workers' compensation system.

Types of Workers' Compensation Benefits

Workers' compensation benefits pay for any current or future medical costs associated with your injuries, as well as for lost wages.  Many people who suffer an injury are no longer able to work, at least for a period of time.  However, with the help of workers' compensation benefits, injured workers can continue to receive an income even though they are no longer able to work.

It should be mentioned that if a person chooses to apply for workers' compensation benefits, they cannot sue their employer for additional damages in a civil lawsuit.
