The need for worker’s compensation
It may be necessary to hire a worker’s compensation attorney if you encounter resistance from your employer after you have filed a claim. The worker's compensation program was originally established to provide coverage for injured workers; and also to protect employers, but over the years, employers see worker's compensation cases as an unwanted expense. The law clearly holds forth that all employers are required to carry worker's compensation insurance. However, many employers work very hard to keep their employees from filing claims, and some will even delay or refuse payment.
Every employer in NC must carry worker's comp
State law mandates that every employer in North Carolina must carry worker's compensation insurance through an independent insurance provider. The only time a company is not responsible for injured employee medical costs is when the injured employee refuses medical attention for their on the job injuries. If the employee refuses treatment, any medical costs that are related to their job related injury becomes the responsibility of the employee.
