Understanding Workers’ Compensation in North Carolina
The NC Workers’ Compensation Act allows workers to receive compensation for any accidental injury without a trial, reducing the problem of lengthy and expensive court procedures. It protects workers by requiring most employers to carry insurance that will cover accidental injuries or illnesses caused by a working environment. While most employers’ insurance policies do provide some compensation, it’s very common for employers or insurance companies to delay or deny claims in order to avoid having to pay out funds. In this case, it’s essential to speak with a workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as possible in order to work towards getting your benefits.
