In North Carolina, employers that have at least 3 regular employees, either full or part-time, are required by law to purchase Workers’ Compensation insurance. This insurance coverage helps ensure that any employee that is forced to miss time at work due to an injury or illness can receive the benefits they need to compensate for their lost income.

Unfortunately, thousands of employers in North Carolina do not abide by this important law.

Receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits after a serious workplace injury can be a long and difficult process. However, that process becomes even more frustrating when an employee learns that their employer does not have the Workers’ Compensation insurance that is required by law.

Recent estimates show that up to 30,000 employers in North Carolina do not have Workers’ Compensation insurance. That is an alarming number of employers, which impacts many injured workers in need of Workers’ Comp benefits.

Daggett Shuler Law attorneys David Daggett and Griff Shuler recently appeared on Triad Today to discuss this troubling and widespread problem. Watch the video below to learn more about why it is so important to consult an experienced North Carolina Workers’ Compensation lawyer about your Workers’ Comp claim.

Ben and Spencer are an incredible team who made me feel genuinely heard and seen during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Throughout this process, Ben consistently showed me grace, kindness, and compassion. Ben’s genuine empathy helped me feel safe enough to trust the process, regain my footing, and begin focusing on moving forward. He genuinely cared about my well-being. I am incredibly grateful to both Ben and Spencer for their willingness to take on my case and for the dedication they brought to it. But beyond their professionalism and the work they do, it was their humanity that made the greatest impact on me. I will always appreciate the kindness, compassion, and respect they showed me when I needed it most.
