Construction Accidents and Workers’ Compensation
Posted: December 4, 2017
In North Carolina, the Industrial Commission requires that all businesses with more than three employees carry workers’ compensation insurance. This means that, in most cases, if you are employed, you are covered by this no-fault insurance and should be able to apply for benefits shortly after being injured on the job. If you work in construction, however, things may not be so simple.
There are different severities of injury that can occur in an accident. Some injuries, such as minor burns, scrapes, and bumps, will not interfere with daily life or require extensive medical treatment.
