Our lawyers advise injured workers about two different legal systems — North Carolina workers' compensation and civil litigation on a personal injury claim. If your injury was suffered while you were on the job and is severe enough to keep you from working, you should be able to recover workers' comp without the need to prove negligence against anyone else.
If your injury was caused by the negligence of someone who is neither your employer nor a co-worker, however, you might have an additional right of recovery for personal injury damages. As long as the facts support a finding of negligence against a third party, you have a good chance of collecting on both your workers' comp claim and your personal injury lawsuit.
Our attorneys are experienced with both workers' compensation and personal injury litigation. That means that we can give you accurate advice about your rights under both systems, and that we have the practical ability to help you get the most out of your claims.
We advise people about their rights in a wide variety of workplace accident situations:
- Full-time, part-time or temporary workers in the private sector
- Federal, state or local government employees with workplace accident claims
- College or university employees at Wake Forest, Winston-Salem State or Forsyth Tech
- Health care employees and nursing assistants at hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and home-care assignments
- Professional driver accidents, from delivery or maintenance drivers to semi truck drivers
- Construction worker injuries
- Factory and assembly injuries
- Warehouse and loading dock injuries
Our lawyers handle claims ranging from serious strains and sprains to permanent or disabling head injuries, spinal injuries, neck injuries and back injuries. We also represent the families of workers killed in workplace accidents.
