In North Carolina, the Workers' Compensation Act requires by law that companies or persons who employ more than three people carry workers compensation insurance. If you have been injured on the job, and have been unable to work for more than seven days, you should be receiving payments from workers' compensation.
The workers' compensation system was designed to protect employees from the expense of injury incurred on the job. Mills & Levine can help you receive benefits to which you are entitled. The following expenses are covered by workers' compensation:
- Income from missed work
- Compensation for permanent damages, including disfigurement and damages to organs
- Income from inability to work due to permanent disability
- Medical expenses due to injury or illness contracted on the job
Under North Carolina workers' compensation law, you can receive workers compensation for three types of incidences: on the job accidents, specific traumatic incidents that occur on the job, and occupational diseases. |
