Workers' compensation laws are meant to protect workers' rights in the event of an on-the-job injury. However, the workers' compensation system is administered by insurance companies that are beholden to the employers.

If you or a loved one has been injured at work, you should contact a Lillington Workers' Compensation lawyer at Kelly & West. You need someone by your side that understands the process and is looking out for your best interests.

Workers Compensation

All companies are required to carry workers' compensation insurance , and it is illegal for an employer to fire an employee due to a workers' comp claim. Any injury or illness that is acquired through the course of employment should be covered.

There are many ways you can be injured on the job, though some common examples include:

  • Lifting injuries
  • Slipping on a hazardous surface
  • Using defective machinery

If you are injured on the job, the first thing you have to do is make sure you receive proper medical attention, get the care you need, and notify your employer of the accident. The next thing you should do is contact one of our Lillington workers' compensation attorneys to ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to.
