North Carolina Workers’
Compensation Injury Claims
For over 40 years, Wallace & Graham’s workers’ compensation attorneys have represented injured workers throughout North Carolina in claims involving workplace injuries and occupational diseases.
In North Carolina, if you are injured on the job you must file a claim with the North Carolina Industrial Commission, which is a specially designated court system where all on-the-job claims must be filed and heard.

Personalized, Experienced Advocacy for Your Workers’ Compensation Claim
Each case is completely unique, and our goal is to meet with our clients’ one-on-one and talk through their injuries and develop a plan to maximum each client’s legal rights and recovery.
Workers’ compensation law can be complicated. Special rules and laws govern different kinds of workplace injuries and illnesses. Unfortunately, insurance companies or employers often try to minimize or avoid their liability. In these situations, it is important to seek competent legal counsel to ensure that you receive the benefits that you are entitled to.
Our greatest source of pride over the years has been the incredible feedback we receive from our clients after we have successfully handled a workers’ compensation claim on their behalf.
