If you have been injured at work call us to make sure that your rights are protected. I will be glad to speak with you on the phone or in person at no cost to you. Should you decide to retain my services and I decide to represent you my fee is based on a contingency of 25% of what I can recover for you. This fee must be approved by the North Carolina Industrial Commission.When you have been injured at work follow these steps:
- Report your injury to your employer.
- Your employer has the right to direct your medical treatment; ask your employer where to go for help.
- Tell your health care provider that your injury is work related and give them the name of your employer;
- As soon as possible give written notice to your employer of your injury (We can help you do this);
- Follow your physician's orders for medical treatment.
If you are out of work for seven consecutive days you are entitled to compensation (payment of lost wages) at the rate of 66 2/3 of your average weekly wage. It is important that your average weekly wage is calculated correctly because all payments will be based on your average weekly wage and resulting compensation rate. At Congdon Law, we want to help you get the benefits you are entitled to receive.I have successfully handled many Workers’ Compensation cases.
