Sit For Fitness, 10:30- Ask A Lawyer Brought to you by Harris, Ragan, Patterson, & Rodgers Yesterday | got hurt o at work while doing ; ® my job. I've been to the doctor and it looks like I'm going to need some medical treatment and may even have to miss some work as a result of the acci- dent. Do | have to report the accident to anyone? How do | do that? (R) If you were injured A: while in the “course 0 and scope” of your employment and work for someone with 3 or more employees in North Carolina, you may have a claim under the North Carolina workers compensa- tion law. As soon as you are able, make sure your employer has notice of your accident and injury. Many employers have a procedure they want you to use in reporting accidents, and you want to be sure you've fol- lowed those rules. North Carolina’s workers compensation law also requires you give notice of your accident to the employ- er or agents of the employer (like a supervisor or some- one in human resources). This rule allows the compa- ny and its insurance compa- ny to properly investigate your claim while the acci- dent evidence is still “fresh” and make a prompt decision about paying or denying your claim. Generally, under the law, you have 30 days to give notice of an accident to your employer, but in my experience the sooner you do this, the better. Notice can be given by sim- ply discussing the accident with your boss or-company manager. However, if you really want to remove all doubt about this notice issue, the law says you can send BIMHARRIS RAGAN PATTERSON your employer a short writ- ten letter giving the date, _ time and other circumstances § of the accident. So you can prove the employer actually received this letter, send it by certified mail, with return receipt requested. Keep both a copy of the letter you write as well as the signed green card you’ll get back in the mail for your records. There is one other important issue related to notice. Even if you’ve given proper notice to your employer, you do not have an unlimited amount of time to make a claim for workers compensation. Generally, if you do not file certain paperwork to report your claim to the NC Industrial Commission (the government agency respon- sible for administrating workers compensation in North Carolina) within 2 years of your accident, you lose your rights to pursue the claim. ; The most common way to file is sending a “Form 18” from the Industrial Commission in Raleigh. Ask for this form from your employer or by contacting the Industrial Commission in Raleigh (they may also help you fill out the form). Even if your employer filed some- thing with the Industrial Commission or you have been paid some workers compensation benefits, make sure you've properly filed with the Industrial Commission. Many worker’s injury claims are quickly and completely resolved. However, if yours does not, make sure you have correctly filed a Form 18 with the Industrial Commission well before the two year anniver- sary date of your injury to preserve your rights.
