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:

  1. You could be eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits even if you are the one who caused your injury.
  2. In North Carolina, the workers' compensation insurance company may have as little as 30 days to decide once you have properly filed your claim.
  3. You may be able to receive compensation for medical prescriptions, mileage, and other travel expenses.
  4. You might be eligible to receive benefits for a particular injury even if you had a previous injury in that same area.
  5. You may be owed workers' compensation for scarring and permanent injuries.

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 To Do If My Workers' Compensation Claim Is Denied?

It's critical to speak with an attorney who is well-versed in workers' compensation appeals, as the process can be challenging to navigate alone. Call us at 800-533-6845 or complete our free case evaluation form online to schedule a free consultation.

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.

Except for Employment Law Cases, Attorney's fees are a percentage of the entire recovery and will be deducted before other expenses. In addition to the fee in these cases, Client will be responsible for litigation expenses, which will either be deducted from the recovery or paid by the client. Some Employment Law Cases may be handled on a contingency fee basis and others handled on an hourly basis, where the client is billed for the hours spent on the case. Based on our experience, we will advise you of the most appropriate fee arrangement in Employment Law cases.
