In North Carolina, workers' Compensation insurance usually covers lost wages, medical expenses, and rehabilitation costs for those who suffered work-related injuries or illnesses. This insurance should pay for all necessary medical treatment, such as doctor’s visits, medications, surgeries, and physical therapy. If the employee is unable to work as a result of their injury or illness, they may be eligible to receive ongoing disability benefits, typically a portion of their regular wages.
In situations where permanent disability must be considered, benefits may continue for longer periods – or even life. Workers' Compensation may also cover vocational rehabilitation services aimed at helping injured individuals return to work or find new employment. In the event of a work-related death, compensation may be awarded to the employee’s dependents. This coverage is mandatory for employers with 3 more employees (with some exceptions), and is designed to ensure that injured workers receive the necessary support by showing that they experienced a compensable injury or occupational disease during the span and context of their employment.
There are several key steps involved in resolving a workers’ compensation claim in North Carolina. First, the injured worker must report the incident to their employer promptly. Then, they will need to file a claim with the insurance carrier. It is important for the employee to seek medical treatment and submit all documentation associated with their injury.
After receiving the claim, the insurance company will investigate the validity of the report. If the claim is approved, benefits such as medical expenses and wage compensation will be provided. If disputes arise or a favorable settlement cannot be reached, a hearing held before the North Carolina Industrial Commission may be necessary. Once resolution and/or a settlement is achieved, the claim will be closed.
The legal proceedings associated with a workers' compensation claim can be complicated and time-consuming. Working with an adept lawyer paves the way for a smooth and efficient settlement – all while maximizing the compensation provided by the insurance company.
