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.

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
