Workers' Compensation

The North Carolina Industrial Commission governs workers' compensation benefits throughout the state. The law on workers' compensation claims in North Carolina is extremely complex. It is important to hire a workers' compensation attorney who is up-to-date on the latest changes in the law, and understands the intricacies of the system. At Thigpen & Jenkins, L.L.P., our workers' compensation lawyers are experienced and knowledgeable, and can help you obtain the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, lost wages, and disabilities.

Generally, if you are hurt on the job or while in the course of performing your duties, you are entitled to 2/3 of your lost wages if you are unable to work for more than a week, and these benefits are paid weekly up to $674 per week until you are able to return to work. Medical bills are also reimbursed, and you may be entitled to additional compensation if you have suffered a disability as a result of your workplace injury. Please see the North Carolina Industrial Commission's page of frequently asked questions for injured workers for more information on the workers' compensation law in North Carolina and how it applies to you.
