Workers’ Compensation And Personal Injury Attorneys

Can I Get Medical Benefits Under Workers’ Compensation?

One of the biggest concerns an injured worker has after a work accident is how he or she will pay for their medical costs. Immediate medical expenses such as emergency room bills, surgery costs as well as post-accident care including follow-up appointments, medications and rehabilitation can add up very quickly. Seeing medical bills stack up is overwhelming in what is an already stressful situation.

In North Carolina, employers should have a workers’ compensation insurance carrier that covers medical benefits. As to specific legal advice for your own work accident, it is important to consult with one of our lawyers at Ganly & Ramer, P.L.L.C..

Medical care can be covered either through the insurance carrier or also through what is known as a self-insurance fund through your employer. However, what can be difficult is that there can be limitations placed on what provider you use and what can be covered. For example, some carriers will not cover a chiropractic appointment. There are options to appeal this, such as filing with the North Carolina Industrial Commission. Our law firm can help you with this and other legal issues related to your work injury.
