Schlosser & Pritchett -- Experience Protecting Your Rights
An experienced North Carolina workers' compensation lawyer can explain your pain and suffering in financial terms to those who caused your injury or denied your claim. If someone other than your employer or coworker was partly at fault for the harm done to you, you may be able to file a liability insurance claim against that person or business.
In addition, if your accident is not covered by workers' compensation, if you are an independent contractor, or a company lacks workers' compensation insurance, you may be entitled to bring legal action against someone for whom you were working, just as you could file against any other person who caused you personal injury.
In such a case, you may be able to receive compensation that you couldn't recover in a workers' compensation claim, including any attorney's fees, damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages, which punish the party that played a role in your injury. If you have been denied worker’s compensation benefits, Schlosser & Pritchett can help you get the benefits you deserve.
We have also represented families whose loved ones died as the result of an on-the-job incident. We can help your family, too, in the case of a wrongful death in North Carolina while working or as a result of something that happened on the job.
