Timely Filings Required to Protect Your Rights

Please keep in mind that, as of time of this writing, the North Carolina Industrial Commission (i.e., North Carolina’s workers’ compensation court) has not tolled the statute of limitations for filing workers’ compensation claims, nor has the Industrial Commission issued a blanket extension of time for responding to filings or pursuing other rights to which you may be entitled pursuant to the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act. As a result, if you believe you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, it is important to act quickly.
