Experienced Durham Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Who Fight for You

When accidents happen at work, the effects are often felt at home as well. The combination of mounting medical bills and lost wages can be overwhelming for any family. Workers’ compensation exists, in part, to provide needed medical care and lost wages to eligible employees hurt at work.

Unfortunately, injured workers don’t always receive all the benefits to which they are entitled.

Because Durham has plenty of development underway and a booming healthcare industry, the Bull City is home to many construction laborers as well as nurses – two of the top 10 occupations that experience high injury and illness rates on the job. When accidents happen, these workers often need help obtaining workers’ comp benefits.

We fight to get our clients the benefits they need to heal and support their families when they are sidelined by a work injury. We fight to get you as much as possible, as fast as possible.

Who’s Eligible for Workers Comp – Can I File for Workers’ Compensation Even if I Was at Fault?

Yes, in most cases you can file for workers’ comp benefits even if you caused the accident. In North Carolina, workers’ compensation is a no-fault system which provides benefits to injured employees who qualify – regardless of who was responsible for the accident. However, there are specific situations that can disqualify you from collecting benefits, such as intentionally hurting yourself or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of your injury. Our experienced Durham workers’ compensation attorneys can review your injury case details and give you recommendations on your next steps.
