Each day, employees are in danger of being impacted by a variety of workplace accidents. No worker is immune from a workplace injury – whether it is in an industrial, office or retail setting.  If you’re ever injured, you’ll appreciate what a Charlotte workplace accident attorney can do for you, regardless of whether the insurance company is paying benefits or if your claim is denied and you need to request a hearing before the commission.

Charlotte workplace accidents take on many different forms, ranging from slip and falls, injuries caused by falling materials, overexertion, exposure to harmful chemicals, injuries resulting from workplace conditions and practices, highway accidents, and the actions or inactions of co-workers. Written notice of workplace accidents should be provided to employers within 30 days of the injury and claims filed with the North Carolina Industrial Commission within 24 months of the injury.

OVERUSE/REPETITIVE MOTION

• The North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act provides financial support for those that suffer Charlotte overuse repetitive motion injuries. Rewards include payment of medical expenses, two-thirds of lost wages and compensation for permanent injuries. A Charlotte workers compensation attorney at SeiferFlatow understands all aspects of the North Carolina law and can guide you through the process of filing your claim and pursuing just compensation.

SPINAL INJURIES

• It takes just one blow to cause a spinal cord injury. Most of these injuries – many of which occur in the workplace – don’t completely sever the spinal cord. Instead, they create fractures and compression of the vertebrae that crush and destroy axons, carriers of signals up and down the spinal cord between the brain and the rest of the body. At SeiferFlatow, we can provide an experienced attorney who knows how to represent workers suffering from Charlotte spinal injuries.

TOXIC EXPOSURE

• Employee harm caused by asbestos fibers, silica, cotton-dust, chemicals, and other toxic exposure has been well-documented over the past several decades in the Carolinas and throughout the nation. Toxic exposure can result in injuries that are temporary and ones that cause long-term damage and death, as in the case of some mesothelioma cases. The North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act protects workers exposed to harmful products in the workplace. At SeiferFlatow, we are prepared to help workers facing toxic exposure cases of all kinds.

At SeiferFlatow, we know that being treated with compassion and respect during this agonizing time is extremely important. That’s exactly how we treat family members if they turn to us for help in pursuing a death benefits claim.
