Workers’ compensation is a bit of a trade-off for injured workers. On the one hand, employers and their insurance carriers are obligated to cover the medical expenses and wage loss associated with on-the-job injuries, regardless of who was at fault in causing the accident. On the other hand, workers’ compensation is often inadequate for truly covering the costs of long-term injuries, and injured workers are generally not allowed by law to sue their employers for compensation beyond that allowed by the workers’ compensation system.
The good news is that, in many cases, there is more compensation available through third-party liability claims. Our Charlotte third-party liability claims attorneys have a wealth of experience helping injured workers get full compensation for their workplace injuries.
