We offer a free consultation so you can learn what options you have and to see if hiring a workers’ compensation attorney is necessary.

In this competitive Charlotte-area job market, many employees fear they will lose their job if they report an on-the-job injury or workers’ compensation claim.  Unfortunately, if your work-related injury goes untreated, it often becomes worse as you continue to work.  As a result, you may cause further damage to your body and be out of work longer for treatment and recovery.

It is also important to report the injury immediately after it occurs to your boss or other superior. If you wait to report the workers’ compensation injury, the employer may question whether the injury actually occurred at work or some other location.  This can lead to denial of your workers’ compensation claim.This is why it is important to have an experienced workers’ compensation attorney help you through the process.

At the Charlotte office of Duncan Law, we provide a free consultation to discuss your work-related injury.  Contact our Charlotte office today at 704-563-1224.  If you would like to learn more about the North Carolina workers’ compensation laws visit our North Carolina workers compensation blog or watch a video from our workers comp video vault.
