Workers’ Compensation

North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Lawyers

If you have a workplace injury, you may need an attorney to fight for your rights, even if you have not been denied a workers' compensation claim. Employers and / or their insurance companies should compensate their employees for payment of medical bills, vocational rehabilitative benefits that provide training to the injured employee for a new line of work, temporary total disability benefits, permanent partial disability benefits, total disability benefits, and death benefits if the employee died as a result of a work-related injury. However, these benefits are not always paid without a fight. Even when a claim is accepted, legal representation is necessary to insure you receive all of the benefits to which you are entitled, and a fair settlement.

Experienced Representation for Workplace Injury Claims

Our primary workers' compensation lawyer, Thomas Van Camp, and his staff are dedicated to all aspects of workers' compensation litigation and appeals. Our workers' compensation legal representation begins by making sure our clients get the proper medical treatment and that compensation is paid in a timely matter. We will help in coordinating the medical care, even getting our clients to the physicians, and will submit all of the forms that go to the Industrial Commission. Compensation for an injury at work entails filing a number of forms and initiating a claim. Rather than litigating before a court, a workers' compensation claim is reviewed by the North Carolina Industrial Commission. Attorneys may file papers, but do not represent employees before the board unless a workers' compensation claim goes to an appeal.
