Raleigh Workplace Injury Attorneys With More Than 45 Years Combined Experience
If you have been seriously injured while on the job, and your workers' compensation benefits have been slow in coming, you need information about your legal options — so you can get the help you need.
The Becton Law Group can assist you. Board-certified workers' compensation specialist Taurus Becton has years of experience with advocating for injured workers' needs in North Carolina. He protects your rights and advocates aggressively for the wage compensation and medical compensation you deserve.
With very few exceptions, workers' compensation law in North Carolina allows you to be compensated by your employer, or his or her employer's insurance carrier. The Workers' Compensation Act is administered by the Industrial Commission, which hears all litigation disputes. Your workplace injury should qualify if it occurred in the course of your employment, and is the result of an accident or an occupational disease. It does not matter if you or any party was negligent, as in some other types of cases. No matter what caused your serious work accident injury, you have rights to receive benefits that must be protected.
Our Becton Law Group lawyers and investigators get to the facts of your workplace injury. We confront employers and their insurers with those facts. And we get results.

Making a Difference, One Case at a Time, Since 1979
Typically, worker's compensation in North Carolina covers:
- Weekly wage compensation for two-thirds of your average pre-injury wage for as long as you are unable to work
- Payment of medical expenses
- Wherever appropriate, additional compensation for permanent bodily damage or wage loss
During the delivery of your workers' compensation benefits, you are required to cooperate with medical treatment, and with medical or vocational rehabilitation professionals assigned to your case. Ideally, you should be able to return to work that is similar to what you were doing before the workplace injury.
The Becton Law Group works hard to protect your rights when you are unable to return to your original job. If difficulties arise — problems connected to calculation of your average weekly wage before your injury — we are solidly in your corner, so you can get the help you need.
Our skilled Raleigh attorneys want you to be able to focus on recovering from your workplace injury. Report your accident to us immediately so we can evaluate your case and get right to work on your behalf.
