FAQ

  • How should I respond when the insurance company wants to take my recorded statement? The insurance company is probably thinking about denying your case if they have asked to take your recorded statement. The insurance adjuster will try to get you to make statements that weaken your claim. You should always contact an experienced workers’ compensation attorney before giving a recorded statement.
  • How much should I receive in weekly lost wages? If you are out of work due to your work injury, you should receive tax-free benefits in the amount of ⅔ of your pre-injury average weekly wage. The North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act contains a weekly maximum and minimum of disability benefits. If you are back at work but making less than you did prior to your injury, then you are entitled to receive ⅔ of the difference in wages.
  • What should I do if my case was denied? You should immediately contact an experienced workers’ compensation attorney. Our North Carolina board-certified workers’ compensation attorneys can help you fight the denial of your case. We will try to resolve the dispute with the insurance company, but we are also prepared to take your case to a hearing if necessary.
  • When should I consider hiring an attorney? Hiring an attorney early in your claim will likely maximize your recovery. Even if the insurance company is paying for your treatment and lost wages, disputes may arise later in your case. At that point, it may be too late for an attorney to preserve your right to workers’ compensation benefits.
  • How are workers’ compensation attorneys paid? Workers’ compensation attorneys are paid on a contingency basis, meaning we don’t get paid unless you do. North Carolina workers’ compensation attorney fees are generally 25% of the amount your attorney recovers for an injured worker.
  • What does it cost to hire an attorney for a workers' comp or injury case? We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are zero upfront costs or out-of-pocket expenses for you. We only get paid if we successfully recover a settlement or verdict on your behalf. For North Carolina workers' compensation cases, attorney fees are typically limited to 25 percent of the recovery and must be formally approved by the North Carolina Industrial Commission.
  • What should I do after a car accident in Charlotte? First, seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Report the crash to law enforcement and secure a copy of the police report. If you are physically able, take photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and visible injuries. Finally, do not give a recorded statement to any insurance adjuster until you speak with an attorney. Under North Carolina's strict contributory negligence rules, a single misstated sentence can jeopardize your entire claim.
  • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in North Carolina? For most personal injury cases in North Carolina, the statute of limitations gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. For workers' compensation claims, you generally must file a formal claim within two years of your injury. Missing these strict legal deadlines can permanently bar you from recovering compensation, which makes it critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
