How To File a Claim
An employee is required to provide written notification to their employer within 30 days of their injury. Your employer may complete the proper paperwork for you, but it is your responsibility to make sure this report is filed with the employer. Forms may be obtained from your employer, or you may simply provide your employer a letter informing them of the injury. It is important to record and accurately describe how the injury offerred and all medical treatment and expenses incurred as a result of your injury.
After the claim is filed, the employer's insurance company will either accept the claim and begin to pay benefits or deny the claim. If the employee's claim is denied, North Carolina law provides that an injured worker has the right to request a hearing before the Industrial Comission.
