Q1: What types of work injuries do you handle for clients in Raleigh?
A1: We handle a wide range of work-related injuries and occupational diseases. This includes physical injuries like slips, trips, and falls; repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome; workplace accidents involving machinery or vehicles; exposure to harmful substances; and any other condition directly linked to an employee's job duties.
Q2: How do I know if I am eligible for Workers' Compensation benefits?
A2: Generally, eligibility depends on being an employee (not an independent contractor) and suffering an injury or developing an illness arising out of and in the course of your employment. Our Raleigh-based attorneys can review the specifics of your situation and your employer's policy to determine your eligibility according to North Carolina law.
Q3: What is the time limit to file a Workers' Compensation claim in Raleigh, NC?
A3: In North Carolina, an employee typically has 30 days from the date of the injury (or from the date they knew or should have known about the injury) to notify their employer. However, specific deadlines can depend on the circumstances, and formal claim filings (the Notice of Injury) have their own timelines. We recommend contacting our office promptly after your injury.
Q4: What happens if my Workers' Compensation claim is denied?
A4: If your claim is denied, we will advise you on your options. This often involves requesting an informal conference with the employer and their insurance carrier. If a resolution isn't reached, we can guide you through the formal appeals process, including requesting a hearing before the North Carolina Industrial Commission. We will represent you throughout this process.
Q5: Do I need to choose between Workers' Compensation and pursuing a personal injury lawsuit?
A5: Generally, North Carolina law prohibits an employee from suing their employer for most work-related injuries. Workers' Compensation is the primary remedy. However, there are limited exceptions, such as third-party negligence (e.g., a manufacturer defect in equipment causing injury). Our Raleigh attorneys can advise you on whether such exceptions might apply to your situation.
