Injured on the job?

Workers' comp is a type of insurance coverage for employees who are injured in the course of employment and cannot return to their job. It can cover medical costs and lost wages.

The purpose of workers' compensation is to help ensure that employees do not suffer financially when they become injured while on the job. Workers' comp helps those who have been hurt get back to work after an injury has occurred. Here's how it works:

If you are hurt at work, your employer will likely give you a form, called an "OSHA 300," which allows you to receive workers' compensation benefits. In North Carolina, as soon as you submit this form, your employer must stop deducting money from your paycheck for workers' compensation insurance; instead, the employer will pay premiums to the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCCI). The NCCI will then send money directly to your healthcare provider and will pay any lost wages or medical bills.
