North Carolina Workers' Compensation FAQ:

What happens if, in an emergency, the employer fails or refuses to provide medical treatment?
The employee may obtain the necessary treatment from a physician or hospital of his own choice, but must promptly request the Commission's approval.

When do I become eligible for lost wage compensation?
No compensation is due for the first seven (7) days of lost time unless the disability exceeds 21 days. Therefore, the first check will not include payment for days 1-7. Payment for those days will be made should the disability continue beyond 21 days.

North Carolina Workers’ Compensation

You’ve worked hard all your life. Then, as the result of an accident or illness, you are suddenly disabled and can’t do the work you’ve done every day.

Workers' compensation was set up to help those who are unable to make a living because they were injured at work. Unfortunately, the system too often works against the employee who doesn’t have the time or resources to fight the big insurance companies or employers who neglect their legal responsibilities.
