Workers' Compensation

When a person is injured while doing their job, the workers’ compensation system is in place to cover some of their financial needs related to the injury and any loss of work. But even under the best of circumstances, navigating this system can be frustrating and confusing without the help of an experienced workers’ compensation attorney to guide you.

If you would like help in obtaining benefits, contact The Sasser Law Firm in Charlotte, North Carolina, today for a free consultation about your case.

Workers’ Compensation Laws and Benefits

In North and South Carolina, employees who are injured as the result of their work are not allowed to sue their employer. And if there is no third party, such as an employee of a separate business, or the manufacturer of an unsafe product that is responsible for the injury, workers’ compensation is the only means of seeking compensation.

Although each state has its own set of workers’ compensation laws and procedures, the list of benefits typically available to injured workers includes:

• Medical expenses (including car mileage and prescription coverage)
• Two-thirds of regular wages (up to certain specified limits)
• Payment for permanent injury
• Vocational rehabilitation (in some cases)

In addition to representing you before the North Carolina Industrial Commission or the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission, the attorneys at The Sasser Law Firm will also help you with the transition from workman’s compensation into receiving social security disability benefits.
