Injured In an Accident at Work? Seek Legal Advice

Injured In An Accident If you hurt yourself at work in North Carolina, the assumption is that your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier will pay you the medical and wage benefits you are entitled to. It should be that simple, but it isn't. It is up to the injured worker to prove that the injury was caused by an accident and occurred during the course and scope of the employment.

In workers' compensation, an injury by accident would seem to be pretty simple to interpret. Quite frankly, it is not as simple as it sounds. Not every injury that occurs at work is a compensable workers' compensation claim.

Some injuries are caused not by any specific event but rather occurred over a period of time and gradually developed to the point where the employee began to experience symptoms. These injuries are categorized as Occupational Disease claims and are more difficult for most employees to handle themselves.
