Tips To Get the Most Out of Your Workers’ Comp Claim in North Carolina

At Ganly & Ramer, P.L.L.C., in Asheville, we understand that having a work injury is more than just inconvenient. In addition to medical treatments and perhaps not being able to work, you suffer from pain and disability. However, your bills still come due. Here are a few tips to encourage timely claim payment by your insurance company.

1. Get your claim started on the right foot: seek medical care for your injury immediately.
2. Let your employer know about your injury as soon as possible, and give them a written notice of your work injury within 30 days.
3. Make sure to fill out Form 18 and send to the North Carolina Industrial Commission.
4. Consult an attorney about your workers’ compensation claim. They can help you fill out forms, explain all of your rights under the law, inform you what not to say to a workers’ comp doctor and advocate for you against the insurance company.
