Workers Compensation

The Law Offices of Fink & Hayes
North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

Free initial Consultation

Workers injured on the job may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits from their employer’s insurance provider. The Law Offices of Fink & Hayes assist clients in preparing and filing necessary papers required for workers’ compensation. While your employer’s insurer will require you to be examined by their doctor, we employ a nurse to accompany you to ensure the exam is conducted appropriately and not as a formality. Additionally, we hire an independent medical doctor to review your condition and the examining doctor’s conclusions to determine if an adequate examination was performed. We accompany you through every phase of your workers’ compensation application and steadfastly protect your rights.

Knowing what to Look For

Understanding the corners employers sometimes cut to save time and money, we identify workplace conditions that contribute to accidents.
