How long do I have to file a workers' comp claim in North Carolina?

An injured worker in North Carolina has two years from the date of injury to file Form 18 with the NC Industrial Commission. For occupational diseases, the two-year period runs from the date a medical provider confirms the diagnosis. Contact Morrison Law Firm as early as possible — delays give insurers grounds to question the injury.

Does Morrison Law Firm handle denied workers' comp claims?

Yes. Morrison Law Firm represents claimants from throughout North Carolina whose workers' compensation claims have been denied by an employer's insurance carrier. The firm requests a hearing before the NC Industrial Commission and then represents the claimant through the full appeals process, including, if necessary, Full Commission review.

Can I receive both workers' comp and Social Security Disability at the same time?

Yes, subject to the federal coordination-of-benefits offset. The combined benefit amount cannot exceed 80% of the worker's pre-disability average current earnings. Morrison Law Firm advises clients on claim sequencing to protect the maximum total benefit across both programs. It is very important to consult with an attorney before settling your claim if you are receiving benefits from both these programs.

What does it cost to hire Morrison Law Firm?

Morrison Law Firm handles workers' compensation cases on a contingency fee basis in accordance with NC Industrial Commission fee guidelines. No fee is charged unless benefits are recovered. Review answers to common questions at the Morrison Law Firm FAQs page.

I am glad to have Perry Morrison as our attorney. My wife and I started out trying to handle my workers compensation case on our own but quickly found that we were over our heads.

He is kind and he and his staff are always there to answer any questions we may have.
