Workers' Compensation

Winston-Salem & Northwest North Carolina Workers' Compensation Lawyers

North Carolina Workplace Injury Attorneys

If you have been injured in a workplace accident, you are generally entitled to workers' compensation benefits or ERISA benefits for federal workers. The law office of Vrsecky Probst and Associates, L.L.P., has helped many injured workers file successful workers' compensation claims and have obtained some of the largest settlements including one exceeding one million dollars. You will not pay any attorney fee unless we obtain benefits for you. There is no risk since all attorney fees must be approved by the North Carolina Industrial Commission and can only be a percentage of your recovery. If you do not receive benefits for your workplace injury, you will pay no attorney fees.

Filing a successful workers' compensation claim can be complicated.

If you do not follow the rules set out in Chapter 97 of the North Carolina General Statutes, you may lose your rights to compensation. For instance, you are required to provide your employer with written notice of your workplace injury within thirty (30) days of its occurrence. Also, when you have suffered a back injury, you are required to show that it occurred as a result of a "specific traumatic incident". This means that it does not have to have happened as a result of an "accident". Before you try to do it yourself, contact our office for a free consultation. We can explain the laws and help you decide how to proceed. You will be under no pressure to hire us or to make any legal decisions about your workplace injury.

You may be entitled to more money than just worker comp benefits.

For instance, if your on the job injury occurred as a result of a negligent or careless act by a non-employee, you may be entitled to recover damages from the third-party as well as your worker compensation benefits. It is important to understand that you may be entitled to significant damages from other insured organizations or individuals who may share responsibility for your injuries. Attorneys Anthony Vrsecky and Robert Probst are experienced personal injury lawyers who know how to thoroughly investigate your workplace accident to determine whether you may have a claim for more money. We will investigate the case to see if you are able to recover from parties other than your employer.
