Your Rights After a Workplace Injury
Protected Worker Rights
When you are injured on the job in North Carolina or Florida, you have the right to receive medical treatment, wage replacement, and disability benefits through your employer's workers' compensation insurance. Your employer cannot retaliate against you for filing a claim, and you are entitled to choose your own physician after the initial treatment if you follow the proper procedures outlined by the North Carolina Industrial Commission.
Common Workplace Injuries
Common workplace injuries include back and spinal injuries from heavy lifting, repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, construction site accidents involving falls or equipment, exposure to toxic chemicals, and injuries sustained in vehicle accidents while performing work duties. Each type of injury may require different medical documentation and can affect the duration and amount of benefits you receive.
