North Carolina and South Carolina workers' compensation attorneys
State laws require employers to carry workers' compensation insurance, which provides a safety net for injured workers to cover medical bills and lost wages. Strict liability applies to workers' compensation cases—in other words, you do not have to prove the employer was at fault for the injury. The employer is strictly responsible for workers’ injuries.
Why do you need a lawyer?
If the law protects workers’ rights, you may be wondering why you need a lawyer. Unfortunately, the intent of the law and how insurance companies handle claims are not necessarily in sync. Insurance adjusters often dispute the extent of workers’ injuries, resulting in denied or delayed claims. When an insurance company is willing to settle, their settlement offer may not resolve the financial distress that the injury created.
Obtaining a skilled, experienced workers' compensation lawyer can relieve the frustration of dealing with insurance companies and often speeds up the receipt of benefits. Being in pain is tough, but being out of work further aggravates a stressful situation. Legal help can help you overcome the obstacles.
