It Doesn’t Hurt to Ask…

When someone is hurt on the job, or injured in an automobile accident in North Carolina, or South Carolina, they usually have lots and lots of questions about their actual legal rights.  Usually, their friends, family, and coworkers are willing to offer advice to the person injured on the job, or hurt in an automobile accident.  But, as the old maxim goes—a little bit of information is dangerous.

Automobile accident laws, often called negligence, or tort laws, vary from state to state, and circumstance to circumstance.  What seems to be an insignificant bit of information might actually be crucial to the disposition of the case.  Listening to advice from a nonlawyer from someone “who has been through it before,” might have a detrimental effect on the claim.

In our experience, there is a great deal of misinformation folks can hear when they get injured on the job—sometimes this misinformation comes from their own family members, or employers!  Workers’ compensations laws are complicated and inadvertently saying the wrong thing, or listening to the person who is giving you the wrong advice could be fatal to your case.  It is crucial to speak with a qualified workers’ compensation attorney, if you are injured on the job to make sure you get the right information.
