Understanding Workers’ Compensation
Generally, to be eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits in North Carolina, an employee must prove that he or she had an accident in the course of his or her employment, that he or she gave adequate notice to the employer of the accident, and that the accident is directly responsible for the injury and disability.
It is the employee's responsibility to prove that they are entitled to workers' compensation benefits under the law following a workplace injury. In order to meet this burden of proof, specific facts regarding the employee's injury must be presented to the insurance company or, if necessary, the North Carolina Industrial Commission.
