Experts in Charlotte Workers Compensations Laws
If you are injured at work you may be entitled to benefits from your employer's insurance carrier for—
- Medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Travel to medical providers
- Job training
You may be able to receive a Charlotte workers compensation settlement for a lump sum, depending on the degree and nature of your injury. As long as the accident occurred while you were on the job, you may be entitled to workers compensation benefits. Even if you were negligent, you can still receive a settlement.
Unlike auto accident claims, which are handled by our local courts, cases involving a worker comp claim for on the job injuries are adjudicated by the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC). For a brief overview on workers compensation claims and the applicable laws, please visit our Workers Compensation FAQ page.
Third Party Claims Arising from Work-Related Accidents
If you are injured on the job through the fault of someone other than your employer, or through a co-worker, you may be entitled to file a separate third party claim for negligence, in addition to filing for workers compensation. (Example: You are involved in a car accident while on the job, and it is the fault of the other driver. You may file both a Charlotte workers compensation claim through your employer and a negligence claim against the driver of the other car). Auger & Auger Law Firm has attorneys that can handle both a Charlotte worker comp claim and a third party claim, and we work as a team to give you the representation you deserve.
