Workers Compensation

Workplace injuries are, unfortunately, a common occurrence in North Carolina. Luckily, North Carolina put in place a Worker’s Compensation scheme designed to provide benefits to employees injured on the job in order to help them with their recovery. The specific law that puts this system in place is Chapter 97 of the North Carolina General Statues, better known as the "Worker’s Compensation Act."

Federal and State laws provide social security benefits for individuals with a disabling condition that prevents them from working. The term "disability" is defined to cover specific types of conditions, all of which must be expected to last at least one year or result in death. The Social Security Administration maintains a list of criteria that are applied to a disabling condition to determine whether said condition constitutes a total disability. These criteria can be complicated to understand, but the Attorneys at Pope McMillan can help evaluate your injury to determine whether you and your family members are entitled to benefits as a result of your condition.
