Workers' Comp

North Carolina Workers' Compensation and Denied Claims Lawyers

If you have suffered an injury while on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. The law firm of Thomas & Farris in Wilson, North Carolina, has an experienced workers' compensation attorney on staff who is also recognized as a preeminent legal scholar on workers' compensation law.

Attorney Albert Thomas is a former Judge of both the District Court and the North Carolina Court of Appeals, and is recognized for his experience, knowledge of the latest workers' comp laws, and track record of success in handling workers' comp cases. His practice is focused on helping his clients secure workers' compensation benefits if they were injured while working. When someone is injured on the job, Judge Thomas is the workers' compensation attorney he or she can turn to with complete trust.

At Thomas & Farris, clients have come to us with such injuries as herniated disks, lost limbs and fingers, and fractured bones. Some clients will be able to recover fully from their injuries, but need compensation while they are out of work recovering. Others will go back to work, but still have certain limitations that entitle them to partial workers' comp benefits. Those who have suffered a permanent injury and cannot return to their profession will require both compensation and the opportunity for vocational rehabilitation to train for a new line of work. Others may never return to any work and may need compensation for life.

While you heal, we will handle the legal aspects of your case. Once you have recovered as much as possible, we will help determine your ability or inability to return to work based on your physician's recommendations and whether other expert medical opinions may be needed. We will negotiate with the insurance company to ensure you get the maximum benefits and compensation you deserve.
