What Is Covered by Workers' Compensation?
In cases of workplace accident or occupational illness, workers' compensation covers three things:
- Medical treatment
- Time out of work
- Permanent injury
A workman's comp claim does not cover pain and suffering.
In North Carolina, workers' compensation claims are governed by the Industrial Commission in Raleigh. There is no jury in workers' compensation cases, but rather deputy commissioners who travel statewide to resolve disputes.
