Greenville Workers’ Compensation Attorney
If you were injured on the job, the resources here should be helpful as you decide what to do next. Workers’ Compensation (also referred to as Workman’s Comp) laws are meant to protect North Carolina workers who have been injured on the job or at work. We often see workplace accidents and injuries when workers are exposed to heavy machinery and physical labor such as construction, factories, mills, plants, farms, and other jobs which are demanding physically. When dealing with physical labor and machinery, accidents can and do happen. However, injuries can also happen in an office building or while driving for your job. Even if an accident may have been your fault, you may still collect Workers’ Compensation. A notable exception would be that your claim can be denied if you were under the influence of alcohol or drugs and became injured as a result.
Sometimes your employer’s insurance company will beat around the bush and delay payment after you have filed a Workers’ Comp claim. Sometimes, an employer may attempt to take action against you for filing a claim, such as firing or demoting you. If this has happened to you, or if you simply need assistance with your Workers’ Compensation claim, attorney Timothy E. Burch can help.
