Workers’ Compensation or On the Job Injuries

If you are injured or have a loved who died at work while doing their job; workers’ compensation laws entitle you to certain benefits that may include the following:

  • Disability Benefits while you can’t work
  • Medical Treatment of your Injury
  • Payment of your Medical Bills
  • Future Medical Expenses
  • Total Disability Benefits
  • Vocational Rehabilitation
  • Death Benefits

The workers' compensation laws are designed to pay for your medical treatment and lost wages.  If your claim was denied, or you have reasons why you are not being fairly compensated under the Workers’ Compensation Laws, discuss your case with one of our qualified staff.

The Law Offices of Estwanik & May, PLLC, understand the regulations that affect workers' compensation claims in North Carolina.  We can assist in the following situations:

Injured while on the Job

Both North Carolina and Florida are no-fault states for those injured on the job.  That means you can receive Workers’ Compensation even if you were partially at fault for your accident.  The Law Offices of Estwanik & May, PLLC can assist with your worker’s compensation claim to ensure you receive all benefits to which you are entitled under the law.

Even if your claim has been denied, you still have rights and a possibility of being compensated.  We can advise you of your options and the potential risks and benefits of litigating your workers’ compensation claim.

Construction Site Accidents

The Occupations Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that over 1,000 construction workers may suffer a work-related fatality this year with many others injured in avoidable accidents.  Construction workers know the dangers associated with their line of work and they know the necessary safety precautions.  However, in spite of their best efforts, they can be injured by the following circumstances that are beyond their control:

  • Unsafe Site Maintenance
  • Defective Equipment
  • Improperly Maintained Equipment
  • Falling Debris
  • Defective Scaffolding

Although most injured workers receive workers’ compensation benefits for medical costs and lost wages, often times other parties may be responsible for the accident.

  • Manufacturers of faulty equipment or scaffolding
  • Repair shops or mechanics that do not properly maintain vehicles and equipment
  • Outside companies contracted to monitor and maintain the site for safety

The Law Office of Estwanik & May, PLLC, knows how to unravel the complex issues associated with construction site injuries to ensure that your injuries are fairly compensated.
