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.

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.
