The Importance of Forms and their Completion

Forms, forms, and more forms.  If there is one certainty about Worker’s Compensation Law, it’s that virtually everything is addressed by one form or another.  If you get one in the mail from your employer, the insurance company, or the insurance company’s attorney, do not take it lightly.  Failure to either properly fill out or timely submit a form could have irreversible consequences and forever bar an injured worker from further benefits.  If you receive one of these forms, make sure you have an attorney review it.  It could be completely harmless, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.  The following link will take you to the forms I’m talking about:  http://www.ic.nc.gov/ncic/pages/forms.htm.
