Robert Nye is an exceptional lawyer with absolute integrity and honor.
-Consuelo K.Mr. Maines made me feel like I was his first priority.
-Bane V.Mr. Nye has gone far above and beyond my expectations.
-Kytra M.Have you been injured at work? Are workers compensation benefits barely making a dent in your losses? If so, a respected work injury lawyer in Charlotte may be able to help you hold the liable party accountable for their negligence through a civil claim.
North Carolina requires that the vast majority of companies provide their workers with workman’s compensation coverage. This helps individuals who suffer an on-the-job injury. But the benefits paid to injury victims are often far less than the true value of the injury sustained. For this reason, pursuing a civil claim against the person or persons who are to blame for your injuries may be in your best interests.
When you’re ready to fight for full repayment of your losses, an experienced Charlotte work injury lawyer at The Nye Law Group could assist you with your case. We’ll work tirelessly to build a compelling case against the at-fault party while you focus on recuperating. Let’s get you the most out of your claim.
Work injuries can take a number of different forms, depending on your line of work. Construction and warehouse workers are known to work in particularly dangerous environments, but that doesn’t mean that people who drive for a living or work in an office setting don’t suffer injuries, as well. Some of the most common types of accidents that occur on the job include:
In conjunction with these accidents are the injuries associated with them. The following injuries and illnesses are frequently seen in work accidents:
These are just a few of the most common types of work-related accidents, injuries, and illnesses that are seen in Charlotte and across North Carolina. If you have been injured in another way, you can still contact our office to see if you can seek full repayment of your damages through a Charlotte work injury lawsuit.
If you’re eligible for workers compensation benefits in Charlotte, you may not be able to also seek repayment for your injuries through a civil lawsuit.
In fact, only in cases where another party’s negligence has caused the victim to be injured will the victim be able to pursue compensation through a work injury civil claim in Charlotte.
Depending on the circumstances of your Charlotte case, the following parties—or others—could have played a part in the cause of your injuries:
Whether you are currently seeking workers comp benefits or are already receiving them, it may be well advised to discuss your options for financial recovery of damages not covered by your employer’s work comp insurance provider.
Workers compensation benefits in North Carolina provide weekly disability benefits amounting to approximately 66 percent of your average weekly earnings, as well as full coverage of your medical expenses as they relate to your injuries. However, they do not provide compensation for other economic and non-economic damages you might have endured.
Economic damages refer to your financial losses. A portion of your lost wages may be covered by your work comp benefits, but in some cases, the remaining 34 percent could be recovered in your work injury lawsuit. Some other economic damages that could be included when calculating the value of your claim include:
Your non-economic damages do not have a monetary figure associated with them. Such losses are never covered by the workers compensation insurance provider and could include things like:
In order to maximize the amount of your injury settlement, seeking full recovery of the aforementioned damages as they pertain to you will be important.
On-the-job injuries can be devastating, but you don’t have to sit back and suffer any more than you have already. Take legal action against the person or persons who are responsible for causing your injuries with the help of a respected Charlotte work injury lawyer at The Nye Law Group.
