For over thirty years, the workers' compensation lawyers at Thompson & Pureza have diligently represented injured workers across northeastern North Carolina and the Outer Banks.
Understanding Workers" Compensation in North Carolina
Workers' compensation laws in North Carolina are designed to help employees who are injured or become ill because of their job. These laws ensure that you receive financial support for your injuries, often without needing to go to court. If a work-related accident or illness tragically leads to a worker's death, these laws also provide benefits to their dependents.
For employers and their co-workers, these laws offer protection by typically limiting what an injured employee can recover from the employer and reducing the liability of co-workers in most accidents.
While North Carolina's state statutes cover most employment, federal laws apply to federal employees or those involved in interstate commerce. When facing a serious injury, navigating these complex claims can be challenging. That's why having an experienced workers' compensation lawyer on your side is crucial to ensure your rights are protected and you receive the full benefits you deserve.
