Obtaining Recovery for Construction Injuries | Workers' Compensation Law
To obtain workers' compensation money for work-related injuries, there are a few conditions that need to be met:
- The injury has to take place in the scope of employment: With the exception of industrial disease cases, workers' compensation only covers employees for injuries that occur while they are actually working.
- The injury has to be brought on by some kind of accident: In most cases, workers' compensation only covers employee injuries that are brought on by some specific accident that occurs at work. In the regular course of employment, an inexplicable injury that occurs at work with no apparent cause would not be covered.
- The back injury exception: Back injuries receive special attention under North Carolina workers' compensation law. Although the back injury must occur at work for workers' compensation to apply, it does not have to be connected with any accident. If you are simply bending over for a paper clip and your back pops, you should be eligible for workers' compensation under North Carolina law.
The Law Offices of Paul M. Goodson, P.C. has a wealth of experience helping injured construction workers get compensation for back injuries and other injuries that occur on construction sites.
