5 Key Phases of the Workers’ Compensation Process in North Carolina

If you have been injured at work or become ill because of your job, workers’ compensation can be a lifeline. It can provide you with medical care and lost wages during a difficult time, but it’s a complicated system.

For over a decade, I have helped many injured workers fight for the maximum amount of workers’ comp benefits. As a North Carolina State Bar Board Certified Specialist in workers’ comp, I understand the system, and I want to help you navigate it as you recover from your work injury or illness.

In the infographic below, I break down the workers’ compensation process into five key phases – and I also point out how an experienced workers’ comp attorney can help you at each phase.
