Compensation for permanent injury is based on an impairment rating, impaired wage earning capacity or permanent total disability.
With few exceptions, the North Carolina law requires all employers that have three or more employees to obtain workers’ compensation insurance or quality as self-insured employers. Because of the complexity of the law, and its limitations on claims, it can be difficult for employees to pursue and receive workers compensation benefits after an injury. An attorney experienced in workers’ compensation law can help ensure injured employees get the benefits they are eligible to receive.
