Types of Injuries You Can Claim in Workers' Compensation

In this video David Daggett of Daggett Shuler Law answers the question: For what types of injuries can I claim Workers' Compensation? Workers' Compensation in North Carolina covers injuries by accident or in some limited cases, like back injury, injuries that come from what is called a specific traumatic event. "Injured by accident" or "specific traumatic event" are precise legal terms that can become very complicated. In addition, there are such things as repetitive trauma injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome or exposure to hazardous chemicals. That is why consulting with an attorney is very important in workers' compensation cases.
