Recovering Workers' Compensation Due To An Accident
If you have been injured in a workplace accident, whether on a construction site, driving a school bus or in a busy office, you must report the injury immediately to your employer. A full detailed report must then be submitted by your employer to their Workers' Compensation insurance company in North Carolina to ensure your benefits. Unfortunately, in many cases the workers' compensation insurance company hired by your employer does not always have your best interests in mind. If you have suffered an injury while at work, you should speak to a Charlotte Personal Injury Attorney about filing for benefits. In order to recover workers' compensation you need to fully establish two things:
- First - that you were definitely employed when the accident occurred.
- Second - that the injury was a direct result of the work you do on the job.
