Workers' Comp Tips
When you suffer from a work related injury or illness, you are entitled to compensation. It is very important to take the necessary steps to ensure you receive everything that you are owed.• Check and make sure that your employer has properly notified the North Carolina Industrial Commission of your accident.
• Remember, you must also notify the North Carolina Industrial Commission that you have been injured on the job. Either you or your attorney should do this within 30 days after your accident.
• Make copies of any and all paperwork that is important to your case. This would include medical notes, accident reports and wage records.
• Be sure to inform your employer about your work restrictions and insist that your employers obey the physician’s instructions.
• Make sure that your medical records indicate that your injuries are work related.
• Keep records of mileage and prescription costs. These out of pocket expenses may be reimbursed to you by the worker’s compensation carrier.
• Bring any and all paperwork relating to your case to your initial meeting with your attorney.
• Do not give a recorded statement without taking time to recall all of the facts in question. You may want to write down important dates and names of witnesses ahead of time so that you can refer to them during the statement. We recommend that you have an attorney represent you during this stage.
