Workers Compensation

When you are seriously injured on the job, we make it our job to help you

Workers compensation exists to protect injured workers.  If you are injured or become sick while on the job, your employer’s workers compensation insurance has to pay for your medical treatment.  Also, you are entitled to receive a portion of your previous average weekly wages while you are unable to work.  In theory, this means that an injured worker does not have to worry about anything except recuperating.  In reality, you face many obstacles.

The process of filing for workers comp in North Carolina and Virginia is a complicated one requiring many different forms and adhering to many deadlines before you receive the money you need to support your family.  Unfortunately, your employer and your employer's insurance company benefit if your claim is filed incorrectly or denied.  Your employer is not obligated to tell you about the different forms you have to file or deadlines you have to meet.  They can challenge your claim, saying that you were drunk or under the influence of drugs when the accident happened.  They can challenge the judge’s decision and force you to go through an extremely complicated appeals process.  Your best choice is to have the help and guidance of a skilled workers compensation lawyer looking out for your best interests.

We work hard to get you the money you need to get on with your life

If you are injured in an accident at work, by law you are entitled to two-thirds of your pre-injury average weekly wage for the time you are out of work and medical treatment for the injury for life.  If your injury is permanent, meaning that it will never fully heal, you may be entitled to additional compensation.  There is no compensation for pain and suffering, inconvenience, attorney's fees or any of the other types of damages that you can sue for in court.
