Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is workers' compensation?
A1: Workers' compensation is a type of insurance that employers are required to carry in North Carolina. It provides benefits to employees who are injured on the job or develop work-related illnesses. These benefits typically cover medical treatment costs and a portion of lost wages.
Q2: How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim in North Carolina?
A2: Generally, you have 300 days from the date of your injury or diagnosis to file a claim with your employer. However, if the injury involves a scheduled member (like a hand or foot), the deadline is typically shorter, often 120 days. It's crucial to act promptly.
Q3: Do I need a lawyer for my workers' compensation claim?
A3: While you can represent yourself, the process can be complex. An experienced workers' compensation attorney, like those at Oxner + Permar PLLC, can navigate the system, understand the nuances of North Carolina law, negotiate effectively with insurance companies, and ensure you receive the maximum benefits you are entitled to.
Q4: What if my claim is denied?
A4: If your claim is denied, you have the right to request a hearing before the North Carolina Industrial Commission. We can advise you on the appeal process and represent you at the hearing to challenge the denial and seek reinstatement of your benefits.
Q5: How are attorney fees handled in workers' compensation cases?
A5: In North Carolina, workers' compensation attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don't pay any legal fees unless we successfully obtain compensation for you. Our fees are set by state law, and we will discuss this clearly with you before proceeding.
