Greensboro Worker’s Compensation Injuries
Nobody expects to be injured on the job. But the truth is, every year there are more than 30,000 workers’ compensation claims filed in North Carolina according to the North Carolina Division of Worker’s Compensation.
When you suffer an injury at work and then have to fight for the benefits or settlement you deserve, it takes a toll on you and your family. You need a Greensboro worker’s compensation lawyer on your side when dealing with an on-the-job injury.
Types of Workers' Compensation Injuries
As a Schlosser & Pritchett client, you may be eligible for compensation for the following worker’s compensation injuries:
- Aggravation of Pre-Existing Illness: An incident or activity on the job, which aggravates a previous injury or condition, is also considered a work injury. An example of this would be an employee who has had prior back problems and then re-injures the back while lifting heavy objects on the job.
- Occupational Diseases: A work injury may also be the result of an occupational disease or illness that the work place has produced. An example would be a worker who develops asbestosis due to exposure to asbestos products on the job.
- Off Work Site: In some instances, a person may be entitled to North Carolina workers compensation benefits even if the injury did not occur while at the work site. For example, if the injury occurred in the company parking lot on the way to or from work, it may be considered a work injury.
- Specific injuries including:
- Head and Brain Injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Back Injury
- Herniated Disc
- Internal injuries
- Eye injuries
- Rotator cuff tear
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Occupational diseases
- Nerve damage

Regardless of the extent of your workplace injury, you can be guaranteed dedicated representation by the Greensboro workmen’s compensation attorneys at Schlosser & Pritchett.
After the Injury
If you have been injured on the job, you must notify your employer in writing within four working days. If your employer has designated a doctor to treat work-related injuries, you must see that doctor in order for workers' compensation to pay the bills. If you are having problems with the doctor your company has assigned to you, we can help you change doctors. Your employer must also notify the insurance company of the injury within 10 days.
If your worker’s compensation claim is denied, you have 45 days to file an application for a hearing to dispute the denial. We can represent you at this hearing or at any step in the process. We’ll make sure you get the worker’s compensation benefits you deserve.
