Justice For INJURED WORKERS

If you suffered an injury, illness, disease, or death while on the job, you have the right to file a workers' compensation claim to seek medical and monetary benefits for workers’ compensation benefits. However, not all conditions are covered under workers’ compensation.

Medical expenses, lost wages, retraining, and vocational rehabilitation may be covered under workers' compensation. In North Carolina, usually, your award for lost earnings will equal about two-thirds of your gross income, which is averaged from a period before the date of injury. Additionally, an injured worker or surviving family member can potentially sue a third party whose negligence contributed directly to an injury or wrongful death. This could be a person, company, or manufacturer, other than your employer, that caused your work accident.

If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied, consult a reputable workers’ compensation attorney to determine the next steps. Call the workers’ compensation lawyers at Grimes Teich Anderson today to schedule a free consultation.

Although workers' compensation claims generally do not require court hearings, this doesn't mean that you don't need sound legal advice regarding your rights. If, however, the injury is severe or there is a dispute about your claim or the amount of money you are owed, you will need a workers' compensation lawyer to protect your rights. While we try to help you avoid unnecessary controversy, sometimes we will need to represent you in hearings before an Administrative Law Judge and further to the Appellate Courts. At Grimes Teich Anderson, we take pride in our ability to serve all our clients with personalized care and top-quality legal advice.

Workers’ compensation hearings take place in a small courtroom and are less formal than jury trials. As the most important witness in your case, you will testify and be cross-examined. This may seem daunting, but with the guidance of a workers’ compensation attorney, you will be equipped and ready.

You may be eligible to receive both your Social Security Retirement benefits and your workers’ compensation benefits at the same time. However, a decision whether to do so may have implications on your workers’ compensation claim. It is important to remember that even if you are retiring, you chose to terminate your employment. This may impact your claim. Further, there are certain offsets between Social Security benefits and workers’ compensation benefits, depending on the facts of your case.
