Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What types of workplace injuries do you handle for clients in Raleigh?
A1: We handle a wide range of workplace injuries and occupational diseases suffered by employees in the Raleigh area. This includes accidents occurring on the job premises, repetitive stress injuries, occupational diseases contracted due to workplace conditions, and injuries sustained while commuting to or from work if required by the employer.
Q2: How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim in Raleigh?
A2: Generally, an injured employee in Raleigh must notify their employer of the injury within 300 days from the date of the injury (or from the last day of exposure if it's an occupational disease). The formal claim application (Form 16A) must then be filed with the North Carolina Industrial Commission within 120 days of the injury or the date the employer was notified.
Q3: What benefits am I entitled to if my workers' compensation claim is approved?
A3: If your claim is approved, you are typically entitled to compensation for: (1) Lost Wages (usually two-thirds of your average weekly wage, subject to state limits), (2) Necessary Medical Treatment (including doctor visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, and medications related to the injury), and (3) Permanent Impairment benefits if you suffer a permanent disability.
Q4: What happens if my employer disputes my workers' compensation claim in Raleigh?
A4: If your employer disputes your claim, they will file a Notice of Contest with the North Carolina Industrial Commission. This triggers a formal process that may involve investigation, discovery, and potentially a contested case hearing before an Industrial Commissioner. Our Raleigh attorneys will guide you through this process, present evidence supporting your claim, and advocate for your rights.
Q5: Do I need to choose between pursuing a workers' compensation claim and filing a lawsuit against my employer?
A5: Generally, North Carolina law requires employees to exhaust their workers' compensation remedies before filing a common law lawsuit against their employer for negligence. This means you must first go through the workers' compensation system and typically wait until the workers' compensation claim has been fully resolved (including any appeals) before you can consider filing a separate lawsuit. However, there are exceptions, such as third-party liability situations.
