DO NOT LET NURSE CASE MGR. MANIPULATE your DOCTOR's words.

So if you are injured on your job, and have the misfortune to be hurt, and are seriously injured on your job, an injury which requires ongoing medical treatment, and causes you to be out of work for months at a time, it is quite likely that the insurance company will assign a nurse case manager to assist you with your medical treatment.  Those folks can be helpful in scheduling appointments and helping you get your prescription medications filled, and things of that nature.  On the other hand, you need to understand that those nurse case managers are paid for by the insurance companies, and are working to save the insurance company and or your employer money $.  That is, pay you less in your workers' compensation case.  You have the right when you go to your doctor that is treating you for your injury to have a private interview-discussion and examination.  You should never let the nurse case manager come into the examining room while your doctor is examining you and you are having a discussion about your treatment with your doctor.  Many times they will stand up and go back with the injured worker when the receptionist calls the injured worker's name.  You have the right to tell them to sit down.  Now after the doctor has examined you, the nurse case manager can talk to the doctor, but only in your presence.  Never let the nurse case manager talk to a doctor outside of your presence.  If you need more information about this or wish to have a free consultation concerning your workers' compensation case, please contact us via our website or

Does North Carolina Law state all job injuries are accidents? NC Law states not all job injuries are accidents: Here's an Example of an Injury not caused by an "Accident" Call a Workers Comp lawyer prior to speaking with an Insurance Representative or filling out a Report

https://raleighworkerscompensation.com/ DO NOT SPEAK WITH COMPANY INSURANCE REP PRIOR TO A COMP LAWYER: Here's a real world tip for injured workers.  The truth is stranger than fiction. To illustrate the requirement for an injury by accident , I want to use an actual situation.  I was contacted by a firefighter.  At the end of his shift, he realized he had left some gear on the top of the rear of the fire truck. He went up the ladder at the rear of the truck.  Came down the ladder which ends about 30 inches off the ground.  He jumps down, and immediately feels pain in his left knee.  He files the accident report.  About a day later, he gets interviewed by the claims adjuster.  She asks him, "How many times have you gone up and down that ladder?" (Probably thousands of times).  "What kind of surface was it that you landed on?" (Smooth concrete it was in the engine bay.)  "Were there any rocks or sand or sticks there?" (No)  "Did your foot sl

Does NC Workers' Compensation law require injuries be caused by an Accident? It's complicated: Attorney Edelstein Payne Raleigh Durham Lawyer explains

https://raleighworkerscompensation.com Does NC Workers' Compensation law require injuries be caused by an Accident?  NC Workers' Compensation law does require most injuries on the job to be caused by an accident. Working people in North Carolina assume that when they get hurt on the job they will be covered by workers' compensation.  They fill out an accident report.  Unfortunately, they do not understand that for most injuries on the job, the North Carolina workers' compensation law requires that the injury be caused by an accident. Claims adjusters for insurance companies will say, "Slip, Trip or Fall".  In fact there are other things that amount that amount to accidents that could be used to make an injury compensable under the law.  But one thing that happens after you file your accident report, almost always a claims adjuster from an insurance company will call you, and may take a recorded statement.  The claims adjuster will ask a series of quest
