North Carolina Workers' Compensation Laws

Workers' compensation is a system of insurance that provides financial and medical benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. The primary purpose of workers' compensation is to ensure that injured workers receive prompt and fair compensation for their injuries, regardless of fault, and to protect employers from costly lawsuits related to workplace injuries.

In North Carolina, workers' compensation is a no-fault system, meaning that employees are entitled to benefits regardless of who caused the workplace injury. This system is designed to streamline the process of obtaining compensation for injured workers, providing them with medical treatment and financial support during their recovery.

Workers' compensation coverage in the state generally applies to all employers with three or more employees. This includes part-time and full-time employees, as well as certain types of contractors. Some agricultural workers and domestic servants may be exempt from coverage.

Some of the common types of benefits include:

  • Medical Benefits: Injured workers are entitled to receive reasonable and necessary medical care related to their workplace injury or illness. This includes doctor visits, surgeries, hospital stays, prescription medications, and rehabilitation services.
  • Lost Wages: If a workplace injury results in time away from work, workers' compensation provides for lost wages. The amount of compensation is typically a percentage of the worker's average weekly wage, subject to certain maximum and minimum limits.
  • Disability Benefits: Workers who suffer permanent disabilities as a result of a workplace injury may be entitled to disability benefits. These benefits are determined based on the severity and nature of the disability.

In North Carolina, employees are required to report a workplace injury to their employer within 30 days of the incident or the onset of symptoms. Failing to report an injury within this timeframe may jeopardize the worker's ability to receive benefits.

To initiate a workers' compensation claim in North Carolina, the injured worker or their representative must complete a Form 18 and submit it to the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC). The employer's insurance carrier is then notified, and an investigation may be conducted to determine the validity of the claim.

Employers are obligated to provide workers' compensation insurance coverage for eligible employees. When a workplace injury occurs, employers must promptly report the incident to their insurance carrier and cooperate with the claims process. Failure to carry workers' compensation insurance or comply with reporting requirements can result in penalties for employers.

If a dispute arises between the injured worker and the employer or insurance carrier, it may be necessary to attend a hearing before the NCIC. The commission has the authority to resolve disputes and make determinations on issues such as compensability, benefits, and rehabilitation services.

    "20 out of 10 stars."
    There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it's interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don't have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

    "Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"
    I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

    "So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"
    Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
