Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Workers' Compensation

Any employer who employs three or more employees must carry workers' compensation insurance that provides benefits to workers injured on the job. Regardless of fault, injured workers may file a workers' compensation claim against that insurance coverage and may be entitled to substantial benefits for their injuries.

- Medical Benefits

After suffering an injury at work, you will no doubt have a significant number of questions about workers' compensation. When up against opposition that includes your employer, an insurance company and their attorneys, it is wise to hire experienced counsel to represent you.

- Lost Wages

You suffer a serious injury on the job and are now unable to go back to work. How will you pay your bills or support your family? At Ken Wayne & Associates, we are experienced lawyers capable of helping you collect compensation payments through workers' compensation.

- Vocational Rehabilitation

After suffering a serious injury at work, and qualifying for workers' compensation benefits, you may have to participate in vocational rehabilitation once you are deemed fit to work by your doctor. It is important to understand your rights and responsibilities when dealing with a vocational consultant hired by the insurance company. We at Ken Wayne & Associates understand the need to meet with you and the vocational consultant to develop an individualized vocational plan.

- Permanent Disability

When an injury will never heal fully, you may qualify to receive permanent disability benefits under workers' compensation. What you are eligible to receive will depend on the extent of your injury. At Ken Wayne & Associates, we help injured workers obtain the benefits that they deserve after a serious work-related injury.

- Death Benefits

Despite great strides in workplace safety over the last century, many workers are seriously injured and killed in workplace accidents every year. When a family loses a loved one because an accident at work, they may receive death benefits through workers' compensation. At Ken Wayne & Associates, we help the families of workers killed on the job collect what they are due.

- All Work-Related Injuries

Regardless of who was at fault, if you suffer work-related injuries, you may be able to collect workers' compensation benefits from your employer. At Ken Wayne & Associates, our team of lawyers will stand up for you in disputes about workers' compensation benefits in North Carolina.

- Neck, Back and Spinal Cord Injuries

An injury that occurs at work does not have to be the fault of your employer to be covered under North Carolina workers' compensation. If you are suffering from spinal cord injuries from performing your job, your injuries may be covered by workers' compensation.

- Repetitive Motion Injuries

No matter how small, the same movement repeated over time can lead to serious and painful medical problems. Repetitive motion injuries are not the result of accidents but are considered to be an occupational disease. They frequently result in workers' compensation claims.

- Office Accidents

Over time, repetitive motions can lead to serious injuries. If you are an office worker suffering from discomfort in your back, neck or wrists, do not assume that pain is insignificant. Office workers are especially susceptible to carpel tunnel and other serious repetitive motion injuries.

- Construction Injuries

A standard afternoon working on a construction site could suddenly change your life in an instant. If you are an injured construction worker, seek legal help from an experienced workers' compensation attorney immediately.

- Work-Related Truck Accidents

A routine workday of unloading a truck or driving cross country could change your life forever. If you are an injured truck driver, do not waste time worrying whether or not you caused the trucking accident. Seek medical attention immediately and obtain legal help from an experienced workers' compensation law firm.

- Third-Party Claims

Workers' compensation benefits employers and employees. Workers who are injured on the job are entitled to medical care and a portion of their lost wages. These benefits are paid by their employer's workers' comp insurer regardless of whether their employer — or anyone — was at fault. In exchange, employees cannot sue their employers for damages.

- Appeals

We understand the toll of a work-related injury. You need medical care. Bills add up at an overwhelming rate when you can't work. We understand the toll it can take on your family when workers' compensation claims are denied.
