Greenville Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Permanent or Partial Impairment and Disability

If you are permanently or partially impaired or disabled as the result of a workplace accident, you are entitled to receive Workers’ Compensation benefits. According to the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act, NCGS 97.2-9, “The term ‘disability’ means incapacity because of injury to earn the wages which the employee was receiving at the time of injury in the same or any other employment.”

Being impaired or disabled is damaging to a person mentally and emotionally. Being unable to work and dealing with the stress associated with any injury or accident can lead to further conditions such as depression or anxiety and can render a person completely unable to hold a job of any kind. In this case, North Carolina law allows for that person to receive benefits for life, including money for wage loss as well as for medical expenses. Greenville Workers’ Compensation attorney Timothy E. Burch is an experienced trial attorney who can effectively represent you to ensure you get the compensation you deserve for your disability or impairment.

Workers’ Comp Claims and Benefits

Workers’ Compensation is meant to take the financial burden off an employee’s shoulders when he or she has been the victim of a workplace accident or occupational disease. However, sometimes an employer’s insurance company will deny or delay a claim and a disabled or impaired worker will be left wondering if he or she will ever get compensation. By working with an attorney early on, you have the chance of avoiding any issues with your Workers’ Comp claim.
