North Carolina Work Injury Lawyer
Injured workers may be able to file two legal claims: workers' compensation with your employer and a third-party claim against the negligent person or party (not employed by your company) who caused your injury. They are allowed to collect damages from both claims; however, the workers' compensation insurance company will try to get reimbursed from the third-party settlement. To make sure you receive all of the compensation you deserve, work with an experienced work injury attorney.
At the Law Offices of Lyndon R. Helton, PLLC, we help injured workers collect the benefits and damages they are entitled to. If you are awarded workers' compensation benefits as well as damages from a third party, we will fight to limit the amount that workers' comp can take from your third-party settlement. For a free consultation, please call 828-848-8776 or contact us online.
Employee Injury Compensation
Workers' compensation is generally available to employees who are injured on the job. If your injury was the fault of a negligent third party, such as the driver of a vehicle or the manufacturer of defective machinery, you may be able to collect additional damages. We represent employees in workers' comp and third-party liability claims.
Accidents and injuries can happen at any workplace, but some occupations put workers at a higher risk for injury, such as:
- Construction
- Nursing
- Trucking
- Manufacturing
- Delivery
Injuries suffered on the job often include repetitive stress injuries, broken bones and amputations, burns, electric shock, back and spinal injuries, and head and brain injuries. In addition, workers can develop illnesses from being exposed to toxins.
If you have been injured at work, you need an attorney who will fight for your rights to fair compensation. Please call us at 828-848-8776 to make an appointment. Injury cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. If we accept your case, there is no fee unless we recover damages for you.
