Q. What injuries are covered by Workers’ Compensation?

A. Workers’ Compensation law covers any accident on the job. An “accident” covered by Workers’ Compensation law includes any unusual or unexpected injury, not only accidents in the sense most of us think of them. Health problems related to work conditions that are developed over time are also covered. Back injuries that can be traced to work are also covered under NC law. You should consult a qualified lawyer to determine whether your work injury is covered by Workers’ Compensation law.
