While it is impossible to access public information about workers’ compensation settlements in North Carolina, it is known that it is possible to have a settlement amount of over one million dollars. To make up for lost wages, workers’ compensation can pay up to two-thirds of an injured employee's wages that they were making before the accident. On top of this, if they have extremely high medical expenses, such as hospital bills and rehabilitation services, then they can be paid a large amount for this as well.
