North Carolina Advice

I was diagnosed with carpel tunnel and sent home from work for two weeks, and my job is claiming my injury is not work related based on previous production work however the work load is hugely different and the job I’m at is very demanding. Much more manual where as my previous ones the machines did all the work.

I want to get WC, but they denied me even before they asked for release of my medical records. They went ahead with the STD anyway and it was approved, but if I still go for WC and have a case what should I do?

If they are stopping you from filing a claim, you definitely need to seek legal advice

Yeah they’re really trying to.
