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.

Chatham County Injuries while at Work

The county once was dependent on agriculture for economic survival. The poultry industry in the county is centered mainly around the western part of the county near Siler City. Townsend Foods and Golden Poultry are the largest poultry companies in the county.

Industrial growth in the county has largely been focused around the Siler City and Moncure areas of the county. By far most of the industry in the county is set up around Moncure. Companies in that area include, Progress Energy, Weyerhauser, Honeywell, and ATC Panels.

Brick manufacturing, which makes use of the local red clay soil, has been an important economic factor in the Moncure area with several brick plants operating around the Moncure and Brickhaven communities. 3M also operates a greenstone mine south of Pittsboro.

The North Carolina Workers Compensation Law were intended to protect workers in companies just like these.
