North Carolina workers’ compensation laws do not require injured employees to work with a lawyer to file a workers’ comp claim. However, you do have the right to hire an attorney to stand up for you and offer legal advice. In many cases, working with a workers’ comp lawyer is the best way to make sure you get every dollar you deserve.
After all, your employer or your employer’s insurance company may hire a team of lawyers to fight your claim. At the very least, your employer may try to limit the amount of money you receive. A workers’ comp attorney in Goldsboro can help ensure you get what you deserve. Please call (919) 778-9700 for a free, no-obligation consultation.
You deserve the same level of legal expertise on your side. Our Goldsboro workers’ compensation attorneys can help you fight for your right to a fair recovery. In some cases, you may even recover compensatory damages in addition to what is paid through the workers’ comp system. Although workers’ comp laws usually prohibit you from filing against your employer, you may be able to file a third-party claim if another person or company other than the employer is liable for your injuries.
In the event you recover compensation from the third party, the workers’ comp insurance company may have a claim for reimbursement of the amount it paid on your claim. This can be complicated but this is something that our Board-Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialists can help you handle.
