What Does Workers' Compensation Cover?
If you suffered an injury or contracted an illness while on the job, you have the right to file a workers' compensation claim to seek medical and monetary benefits. However, not all conditions are immediately 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. South Carolina's workers' compensation is based on either the degree of impairment of your injured body part, the amount of wages that you can earn after your accident, or whether you are unable to ever work again as a result of your injuries. Additionally, an injured worker or surviving family member may be able to 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.
What The Insurance Company Doesn't Want You To Know
When it comes to workers' compensation claims, what you don't know could cost you. Workers' Compensation laws vary between the Carolinas, so it's important to understand your rights under the law. When seeking workers' compensation benefits, here are seven things you should know regarding your rights under workers' compensation laws:
- You could be eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits even if you are the one who caused your injury.
- In North Carolina, the workers' compensation insurance company may have as little as 30 days to decide once you have properly filed your claim.
- You may be able to receive compensation for medical prescriptions, mileage, and other travel expenses.
- You might be eligible to receive benefits for a particular injury even if you had a previous injury in that same area.
- You may be owed workers' compensation for scarring and permanent injuries.

Awesome firm! Chris Connolly took time to listen and review our situation. He was very honest and upfront about the process and potential outcomes. My daughter’s case has some complexities and Chris explained every detail and possibility. Bottom line, he fought for us and won!!! I would rate them 10 stars if possible.

I had the chance to speak with Anna Hamrick and Katie Gates, and their professionalism truly stood out. From 2024 to 2026, everything was handled well, with a level of confidence, honesty, and calm presence. They took their time with me, explained everything clearly, and treated me with real care and respect. Their dedication and work ethic are admirable; I’m genuinely grateful for the way they guided me.

Needing an attorney was never something I wanted to need, but I did and thanks to Anna H. and Katie G. it was not so overwhelming. Having to deal with a legal issue and having a trusted attorney is key. I had no idea what to expect during the duration of the time I needed legal representation but Anna and Katie not only keep me well informed but also explained things to me in a way that made sense. If you happen to find yourself in need of legal representation I highly recommend them.

We had a very positive experience working with this law firm on a disability claim. From the initial consultation, Kathy W. was knowledgeable, informative, and supportive. She maintained consistent communication throughout the process and responded to our questions promptly and thoughtfully, which helped ease what can be a very stressful experience. During the court hearing, Attorney Christian provided clear guidance and sound advice, ensuring we felt prepared and supported every step of the way.

Why Should I Hire A Workers' Compensation Attorney?
Although your workers' compensation claim may not require a court hearing, that doesn't mean that you don't need sound legal advice to protect your best interests. If the injury is severe or there is a dispute about your claim or the amount of money you are owed, you will likely need a workers' compensation lawyer to advocate for you. While we aim to avoid unnecessary conflict, sometimes, we will need to represent you in hearings before the Deputy Commissioner and further. This is to ensure that you're getting the best possible chance at recovery.
