Charlotte Work Injury Attorney
An injury that keeps you out of work can affect your livelihood. At the law office of William D. Acton, Jr., in Charlotte, North Carolina, I understand that work-related injuries often cause physical, emotional and financial struggles. I provide a free initial consultation for clients suffering from on-the-job back, shoulder or other injuries so that you can get your questions answered and be certain that you understand your rights. If you have legal questions and concerns after suffering an injury in any type of work-related accident, please feel free to contact me at 704.837.0240 to discuss your legal matter with an experienced personal injury and workers' compensation law attorney in North Carolina.
As a Board Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law, I strive to understand the nature of your work injuries and the true impact of them, including how physical limitations and bouts of depression have affected your life . With that information, I communicate how personal injury and workers' compensation laws can work for you.
You Need Strong Advocacy Following a Workplace Accident
If you have suffered a back, arm or leg injury, occupational disease, knee injury or other serious injury in a workplace accident, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits to compensate you for your lost wages or permanent disability and to cover your medical expenses. Depending on the situation, you may be entitled to additional compensation against a negligent third party (other than your employer).
While it is tempting to resolve your workers' comp case immediately with the insurance company, you need to focus on your long-term needs, not a short-term financial gain. Although a quick settlement of your workers' compensation benefits or other benefits may initially reduce the strain of your injury on your family, it typically will not sufficiently address your future needs resulting from your work injury.
As an experienced workers' compensation lawyer, I advocate for clients in situations where their insurers have denied claims of injury or wrongful death, and those denials have risen to insurance disputes.
