Every case is different, which is why we want to hear about your case in order to help you decide your next best steps. If we can’t help you, we’ll be upfront and honest rather than waste your valuable time and money.

Our highly qualified and experienced legal team is available by phone, email, and personal appointment to assist you with every step of the legal process — beginning with your first phone call and continuing through to the conclusion of your case.

During your free consultation, we offer our clients a thorough intake evaluation and a customized, comprehensive plan of recovery and resolution, unique to your individual case.

In both North and South Carolina, the statute of limitations for workers’ compensation claims is 2 years from the date of the injury (or discovery of the condition).

After this period expires, you will no longer be able to file a claim and will lose your right to compensation forever.

Not all work-related accidents, injuries, and illnesses require you to lawyer up. If you only suffered minor injuries with no complications, didn’t miss work, and your claim was accepted, then you may not need professional workers’ compensation representation.

However, if any of the following statements are true, we strongly recommend you reach out to one of our experienced attorneys for legal advice:

• Your workers’ compensation claim is denied or disputed
• Your benefits are delayed or reduced for no reason
• You have a pre-existing condition
• The settlement offered doesn’t cover all of your past and future medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses
• Your injury is so severe that it limits or prevents you from returning to work
• You plan to apply for Social Security disability benefits (or are currently receiving them)
• Your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers’ compensation claim
• You need to negotiate with an insurance company
• You were injured by a third party or your employer’s gross misconduct (i.e., unsafe working conditions)
• You have an upcoming workers’ compensation hearing

If any of these conditions are true, it’s urgent that you consult with a qualified work injury lawyer near you as soon as possible. The clock is ticking.

All of our workers’ compensation and personal injury cases are taken on a “contingency fee” basis. This means that you pay no money up front, and there is no fee for the initial consultation. Instead, your lawyer will take their fee as a percentage of your final settlement.

If we don’t win your case, then you owe us nothing. It’s that simple.

• In North Carolina, the fee a workers’ compensation attorney can charge is regulated by the state and must be approved by the Industrial Commission. The standard fee is 25%, which typically comes out of your final settlement or award.
• In South Carolina, the maximum fee rate attorneys can charge is regulated by the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission and is set at 33%, which comes out of your settlement proceeds.

During your first meeting with our knowledgeable work injury lawyers, we will listen to your story and discuss important issues such as what damages you may be entitled to — including medical bills, temporary total disability, and future medical compensation. In some cases, workers are entitled to penalties for OSHA violations.
