North Carolina Work Injury Attorney
When you have been hurt in a workplace accident, you want an experienced lawyer to help you pursue all the benefits to which you are entitled. You may not be able to work for a long time, if ever. You may need considerable medical care, including physical therapy or rehabilitation. You want an attorney who understands the workers' compensation system, who has successfully protected the rights of other injured workers.
My name is Lyndon R. Helton. I bring valuable practice experience to people in western North Carolina who have been hurt on the job. I have worked as a lawyer for nearly 20 years. Before dedicating my practice solely to the needs of injured people, I spent time as an insurance defense lawyer, where I learned the tactics insurance companies use to try to minimize or deny claims. I know how they use their resources to profit at the expense of working people.
