Am I eligible for Workers' Compensation in North Carolina?
Sometimes workers get pushback from their employer when they shouldn’t. Most employees across the state are eligible for workers’ comp benefits. Call our Greenville, Raleigh and Fayetteville workers’ compensation lawyers if you believe you are owed the benefits you are being denied.
If you can answer “yes” to the following questions, you are probably eligible for workers’ comp:
- Were you injured on the job?
- Did you report the injury to your employer orally and in writing immediately and in any event within 30 days?
- Does your employer have at least 3 employees?
- Does your employer carry workers’ comp insurance?
Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Workers who sustain injuries or illnesses during the course of their work are entitled to monetary benefits under the North Carolina workers’ compensation program.
Medical benefits entitle injured workers to any medical care that will effect a cure, provide relief or lessen the period of disability. Disability Benefits are designed to compensate for wages lost due to the work injury at 66 and 2/3 your average weekly wage.
Although certain types of employers are exempt from having to carry workers’ comp insurance, those who are required to carry it should be providing you with your benefits if you have been injured.
