Client Testimonials
Board Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist
Thousands of workers across the United States are injured every day in workplace accidents. When people are hurt on the job, they don’t always know what steps they need to take to protect themselves. Being unable to work can be as difficult as the injury itself, because people take pride in their work and identify with it in some way. They also take pride in themselves and their ability to make a living and provide for their families. A workplace injury can take that source of pride away. Sometimes employees decide not to pursue a workers’ compensation claim fearing they may be demoted or lose their job. Or, they wait until after the deadline to file a workers’ compensation claim and miss-out on receiving necessary medical treatment and compensation (money) for permanent or partial disabilities brought on by workplace injuries. At the Ramsay Law Firm, PA, we take the time to teach our clients about their legal rights by guiding them through the entire workers’ compensation process.

Pursuing a Personal Injury Lawsuit to Supplement Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Mecklenburg County
In addition to bringing you the benefits you deserve under the workers’ compensation system, our lawyers help you identify who, other than your employer, is responsible for your workplace injuries. For example, if a subcontractor’s actions caused you to be hurt, then the company responsible for that subcontractor can be sued for personal injury. Since workers’ compensation is usually the only way to make an employer pay when a worker is injured on-the-job, our attorneys always look at other businesses, contractors, or agents who may also be responsible for you being injured on-the-job. At the Ramsay Law Firm, PA, we leave no stone unturned in in bringing you the full compensation you deserve.

Understanding the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation System
Unlike a personal injury lawsuit, you don’t have to prove that your employer caused your injuries in order to collect workers’ compensation benefits. The State’s workers’ compensation laws provide a “no fault” system geared toward protecting both employers and employees when workplace injuries happen. If you are injured on-the-job, you have the right to file a workers’ compensation claim even if you caused the accident or are responsible for the injury in any way. The workers’ compensation system was created as a benefit to help employees who are injured on-the-job. This benefit covers medical care and treatment, as well as disability payments for wages lost if healing from a work injury makes you unable to work. The benefit also pays you a lump sum if a medical report shows you have a permanent injury. Workers’ compensation laws have “caps,” which limit the amount of money that can be awarded and, also unlike a personal injury lawsuit, you can’t receive money for pain and suffering.

We guide injured workers through the legal process, and make sure you avoid insurance traps along the way. Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance normally covers workplace injuries. These insurance companies often work hand-in-hand with medical professionals who they hire to downplay the serious nature of an employee’s injuries. The harsh reality is that insurance companies care much more about their corporate bottom-line than they care about injured workers, which is why it is necessary to work with an experienced workers’ compensation attorney who does care about you and your rights. The Charlotte workers’ compensation attorneys at the Ramsay Law Firm, PA not only look out for your best-interests, but also take the steps necessary to fully protect your rights and well-being.
