What kind of injuries or disabilities does workers’ compensation cover?
If you sustain an on-the-job injury, you are entitled to benefits. Long-term, acquired disabilities and diseases are also covered. For example, if you have a pinched nerve or chronic pain due to maintaining a certain position at work over the course of several years, you may be eligible for workers' compensation. Applicable benefits cover a wide range of disabilities acquired on the job, both short and long-term.

What kind of compensation can I receive?
There are three types of benefits: lost wages, medical fees and vocational rehabilitation or retraining. In general, you will receive compensation for lost wages equal to roughly two-thirds of your gross wages, averaged from a period just before your injury or illness. Customary and reasonable medical fees are also covered.

Can I also sue my employer?
Workers’ compensation laws were created to provide quick, hassle-free compensation for injured employees without weighing down the courts and incurring unnecessary expenditures and delays. Under these terms, a lawsuit against your employer because of injury or disability is not permitted. In return, an employer or its insurance company pays the benefits without a complicated battle over every last detail of your injury claim. Unfortunately, not all claims are simple or easily resolved. Crumley & Associates can help guide you though the claims process.

Why should I call a workers’ compensation attorney?
Even if a North Carolina workers’ compensation case does not involve a lawsuit, you may still need solid advice regarding your rights. If yours is a simple, cut-and-dry case of a couple of weeks missed work due to a minor injury, your claim could proceed smoothly. When disputes arise regarding your claim or the money you are due, you need a Crumley & Associates workers’ compensation attorney on your side. Keep in mind we do not collect an attorney's fee unless we win your case. Contact us today for a free evaluation and we will do our best to ensure that your questions will be answered.
