Accident and Injury Lawyers spent a tremendous amount of time studying the mechanics of an accident. If your personal injury claim involves a vehicle, it is important to review things like accident reports, law enforcement notes, and associated medical materials to confirm the causality of the accident or collision. In claims for negligence in North Carolina, proving liability is incredibly important. It is also equally important to anticipate and disprove, when possible, defenses such as contributory negligence in North Carolina.

“While we may refer to them as ‘car accidents,’ the truth of the matter compensation for losses must center on assignment of blame. Personal injury lawyers refer to that as legal liability due to negligence or gross negligence.”

– Kevin Jones, Greenville NC Attorney

WorkerClaims involving the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act, which some may refer to as “Work Comp” or “Workmen’s Compensation” in North Carolina, requires a different approach. Unlike claims involving the NC Tort Laws, where proving who is at fault, the NC Workers' compensation Laws focus on compensation for lost wages and permanent injuries, with the mindset that the employee will, if able, return to work.

The NC Work Comp laws assume the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act applies to all employees and all employers, understanding there may be certain exceptions. That is much different than claims for damages involving the determination of negligence and fault. Workplace accidents and the legal claims for on the job injuries may also require analysis into causality, especially for claims like repetitive motion injuries and disabilities due to PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

The sudden injuries seen in a factory production line and construction site falls also require documentation as to the nature and extent of the injury or loss. Other than claims for a workplace fatality or job-related death, a Work Comp personal injury lawyer may encounter efforts by employers, employer doctors, and insurance company adjusters to minimize the level of damages or need for surgical intervention, vocational rehabilitation, and other restorative medical care after a serious workplace injury.
