Experienced Workers Compensation Lawyer

Attorneys at Ward Black Law are knowledgeable and compassionate people who work to help clients through the process to recovery and compensation after an injury. If you work in North Carolina, you are most likely covered by the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation system. Any North Carolina employer with three or more employees must provide workers’ compensation coverage for its workers.

Under the law, if you suffer from a workplace injury or an occupational disease, you are entitled to certain benefits. If you die in a workplace accident, your dependents are entitled to death benefits. Employers cannot opt out of the workers’ compensation system and employees cannot waive their rights to coverage. Employers must either purchase insurance to cover their workers’ compensation claims or prove their ability to self-insure. An employer that does not provide workers’ compensation insurance for its employees is subject to stiff financial penalties.

Obtaining such benefits can result in complex litigation that requires the services of an experienced legal professional. The lawyers of Ward Black Law have dedicated their practice to ensuring that the victims of workplace injury or illness have available legal resources for recovering the damages that they deserve.

Caswell County Workplace Injuries

Caswell County was formed from a northern portion of Orange County, in 1777. The newly formed county was named for Richard Caswell, Governor of North Carolina from 1776 to 1780. Leasburg was the first county seat. In 1792, roughly the eastern half of Caswell County became Person County. After the division, the Caswell County center of government was moved to a more central location: the community of the new county seat first was called Caswell Court House. Later, the name was changed to Yanceyville.

Caswell County produced many political leaders, including Bartlett Yancey, Jr., Archibald Debow Murphey, Romulus Mitchell Saunders, Bedford Brown, Calvin Graves, John Kerr, Jacob Thompson, and others. At one time it was stated that all successful North Carolina legislation had to make its way through the Caswell County legislators. As an example, Bartlett Yancey, Jr., was Speaker of the North Carolina Senate 1817-1827, and during part of this time Romulus Mitchell Saunders was Speaker of the North Carolina House of Commons.

Tobacco was the big business in Caswell County, but today it has professional careers, service sector jobs and agricultural employment. An injury on the job can result in your not being able to provide financially for your family. Workers Compensation Laws protect you if you been injured while working.
