Workers' Compensation
We handle all types of work-related injuries, including:
- Back injury (herniated disks, muscle strains, pinched nerves)
- Head and neck injuries (including brain or spinal cord injury)
- Amputation or crushed limbs
- Injuries to feet, hands, knees, shoulders
- Broken bones
- Lacerations, scarring and burns
- Occupational disease (repetitive use or toxic exposure)
A workers' compensation claim needs to be tied to a specific traumatic event (fall, slip and fall, equipment injury, vehicle accident) or job-related activity. Back injuries are particularly common. Ms. Harris's skill may come into play for back injuries and other claims to prove that your injury is related to a workplace accident or other unusual event on the job.

Beyond the Initial Claim
We ensure that clients receive all entitled benefits — weekly wages, timely payment of medical bills and benefits/settlements for permanent disability or permanent partial disability.
When necessary, Ms. Harris vigorously represents you in appeals to the North Carolina Industrial Commission, the North Carolina Court of Appeals and the North Carolina Supreme Court:
- If your job accident/work injury claim is rejected
- If you disagree with your disability rating and benefits
- To allow you to see a doctor of your choice for ongoing treatment
- To address return to work issues (refusal to rehire after your temporary disability)
If you were injured by defective equipment or the negligence of a subcontractor or other party outside of your employer, we will explore a possible third party lawsuit for damages.
