North Carolina Workers' Compensation Attorney

Workers' Compensation Process

If you have been injured in the workplace, you could be entitled to reimbursement for medical bills or any income that was lost. In this situation, it can be difficult to know where to turn or what to do. If this is your case, the Lanier Law Group is here to answer any of your questions.

In regards to the correct procedure to follow after sustaining a work-related injury, the first step you should take is to notify your employer. This should be done in writing and within the thirty days of being injured. If you fail to complete this step, your ability to receive compensation could be risked. You should also seek medical attention from a healthcare professional that has been authorized by your employer. Next you will attend a hearing and claim the benefits you are due. If your employer does not reimburse your benefits, you will have to pursue different options. Deciding what benefits you need and how to proceed if your employer does not cooperate can be confusing. Therefore it is highly recommended that you seek legal counsel before proceeding.
