North Carolina General Assembly Considers Insurance Legislation - Social Security Disability
At my Southern Shores law firm, people often tell me about stories they have heard from others — about how people with the same injuries received a certain number of benefits and how my clients expect the same amount. - Workers' Compensation
The law protects workers. People who are injured on the job are often entitled to financial compensation that helps them make ends meet and get necessary health care until they are fully healed and can go back to work.
