In North Carolina, there is a specific workers’ compensation rule that limits benefits to those who have had an accident as defined by the act. Shoulder injuries resulting from regular work duties are not covered and receive no workers’ compensation benefits. This makes it all the more critical that you secure the representation of a skilled and experienced workers’ compensation attorney if you have injured your shoulder at work.
Too often, injured workers will make the mistake of stating that they were performing regular work duties at the time of the shoulder injury without fully explaining what happened. The way in which a question is answered can preclude the injured worker from receiving workers’ compensation benefits.
If you have injured your shoulder at work in Charlotte, NC, make talking to one of our attorneys your first step. Do not make mistakes that may cost you benefits you truly need. It is very important to talk to an attorney before you give the insurance company a recorded statement.
At Ayers, Whitlow & Dressler, we are skilled at helping injured workers show that their shoulder injury was actually the result of an accident. Injuries often result while performing activities that are different from what you normally do. Even if the difference is minor, it may be sufficient to qualify you for workers’ compensation benefits.
