There are several consequences for the employee when an employer fails to report their work-related injury. Workers Compensation Attorney Darren Howard explains that it is required by law for employers to report a work-related injury to both the North Carolina Industrial Commission and also their workers compensation insurance company. If this is not done, then the employee is left paying the consequences of lost wages, medical costs, and delayed treatment. Missing out on the wage replacement component of workers’ compensation has consequences not just for the employee, but also for their family. So, it’s a good idea to make sure your employer is in compliance with North Carolina Law and reports your work-related injury. If they have failed in this, before the consequences are extreme and dire for you and your family, give one of our experienced workers compensation attorneys a call right away!
