Workers Compensation Law:

Dungan & Associates, P.A. fights to assist injured employees in Asheville and throughout Western North Carolina in getting the worker's compensation benefits they deserve.

Under North Carolina law, injured workers generally receive compensation for their injuries regardless of fault. North Carolina worker's compensation law provides lost wages compensation and medical payments for workers who are hurt on the job or who suffer from occupational illnesses. If a worker is permanently injured at work, worker's compensation law provides for monetary compensation for that injury. Also, if a worker is killed on the job, worker's compensation law provides for monetary benefits to be paid to the family of the deceased worker.

Worker's Compensation benefits are generally provided through the employer's worker's compensation insurance company. In many cases injured workers may not receive the treatment they deserve from these insurance companies. That is where our firm steps in. We provide clients with representation throughout the worker's compensation progress. We will negotiate a favorable settlement for each client or will take the client's case to the North Carolina Industrial Commission if necessary to insure that the client gets the results he or she deserves.

Each worker's compensation case is different, and we strive to understand and meet the individual needs of each client. We provide our clients with individualized legal advice throughout the worker's compensation case, and navigate the complicated worker's compensation system for our clients. If you have been injured at work and feel that you are not receiving the benefits you deserve under North Carolina law, please call our office to schedule a free phone or office consultation.
