North Carolina Workers’ Compensation - The “injury by accident” requirement 

If you sustain an injury while on the job in North Carolina, you may qualify for workers' compensation benefits, which encompass medical care, weekly disability benefits, reimbursement for expenses, and, in certain instances, assistance with retraining or job placement. The workers' compensation system involves intricate complexities and tradeoffs, exemplified by the fact that, despite benefits being available irrespective of fault for the accident, employees cannot pursue negligence claims against their direct employers. This underscores the importance of promptly reporting any workplace injury to your employer and seeking counsel from an adept workers' compensation attorney. This article delves into a crucial facet of North Carolina workers' compensation law – the "injury by accident" requirement, outlined in North Carolina General Statute § 97-2(6). Despite its seeming obviousness, the law necessitates that, unless the injury pertains to the back or spine, the condition must result from an "unusual" or unforeseeable event beyond routine job duties.
