Our workers' compensation attorneys are well-versed and seasoned in the procedures and laws that govern the rights and responsibilities of employers and their employees in North Carolina workers' compensation cases. At Lewis & Roberts, we have established a strong reputation for providing effective counsel and representation.

Often times, businesses may not consider or understand the requirements and ramifications of the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act until it is too late and an injury has occurred. Our attorneys provide advice and counsel to businesses regarding the steps that can be taken prior to a claim occurring, so as to minimize the impact of workers' compensation claims. Once a business is faced with a workers' compensation claim, our attorneys focus their efforts on rapid claim resolution, either through obtaining dismissals or negotiating client focused settlements. However, there are occasions when obtaining an early resolution is not possible. In such situations, our attorneys work with businesses of all sizes and varieties to obtain favorable results through evidentiary hearings and, if necessary, appeals to higher courts.
Our lawyers have appeared and successfully defended cases before the Deputy Commissioners and Commissioners of the North Carolina Industrial Commission, the judicial body which handles workers' compensation claims. Further, our attorneys have successfully represented businesses in matters pending before the North Carolina Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of North Carolina.
