You Have a Voice
| Whole Again |

Our client, who spoke only Spanish, lost his arm in a workplace accident. He was very concerned that he would be unable to work and provide for his family. We negotiated a settlement for our client that has given him peace of mind and the resources he needed to care for his family. As part of the settlement, his workers’ compensation insurer even paid for mental health counseling. |
If you were injured in a workplace accident, suffer from an occupational disease, or have lost a loved one to either, you may be concerned about your future. How will you pay your bills? Will you lose your job? How can you be sure that you are protected if your injury gets worse as time goes on? What if you can no longer work?
At Ward Black Law, we have been helping people facing these difficult struggles for more than 20 years. We have given them the voice they deserved to get the compensation to which they were entitled. If you face a serious work-related injury or illness, you are likely facing an employer, its insurer, and teams of legal advisors seeking to reduce or eliminate your right to compensation. We stand up to these groups on a daily basis, seeking to protect the rights of everyday workers and their families.
You may also have questions related to your social security, unemployment, or other insurance benefits. We can help you understand how these other forms of payment relate to your workers’ compensation and assist you with your overall benefits package.

Our client had worked for the same company for 29 years when he injured his hand at work. When the company shut down its North Carolina office and moved to another state, it tried to deny our client any further workers’ compensation benefits, even though he had not found another job. We protected his rights and prevented the termination of his benefits. With the stress of the claim behind him, he was able to focus on healing. |
Our workers’ compensation team is led by S. Camille Payton, an attorney who has spent 16 years protecting the rights of workers’ compensation clients. Ms. Payton is well-respected in her field, serving on the workers’ compensation executive committee of the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers. She is dedicated to serving both her clients and her community.
At Ward Black Law, it is our passion to restore our clients to wholeness. We strive to pursue every possible remedy and preserve every future right. If you think that you may benefit from legal representation for your workers’ compensation case, contact us today for a free consultation.
