Your Advocate in Workers' Compensation Cases
If you have been injured in the course of doing your job, you are entitled to collect benefits under the North Carolina Worker's Compensation Act. Employers and their insurance companies will do anything they can to avoid paying a claim. The process for requesting and receiving benefits is extremely complex. These matters require the attention of a lawyer who understands the law and how to help you navigate the system.
Since 1985, The Law Office of J. Pressly Mattox, P.C. has been representing clients throughout Iredell County and the Statesville area in all types of workplace injury cases. We have been successful at obtaining benefits for lost wages, medical care, rehabilitation, temporary or permanent disability, lump sum settlements and other compensation.
Helping You Through a Complicated Process
If you have been injured on the job, you must report the injury to your employer within 30 days to be eligible for workers' compensation. We recommend that you report it immediately. You will be required to be examined by your employer's doctor first. If you are dissatisfied with the assessment, you have the right to seek a second opinion.
All workers' compensation matters are handled through the North Carolina Industrial Commission. This is an administrative agency that operates differently and separately from personal injury court. Attorney Mattox's experience with these cases and our understanding of the Commission serves as an extremely valuable asset to our clients.
We represent clients in all types of workers' compensation matters, including:
- Neck and Back Injuries
- Repetitive Motion Injuries
- Construction Site Injuries
- Hearing or Sight Loss
- Industrial Diseases
- Loss of Limb Injuries
- Broken Bones
- Death Benefit Claims
- Hearings Before the NCIC
