The two-year filing deadline under N.C.G.S. § 97-24 doesn't bend for distance or a slow mail day, and if you've already received a payment, your real deadline may be closer than you think. Before accepting a denial or a reduced settlement as final, have someone familiar with Pamlico County's logistics, the drive to New Bern for treatment, the lack of a local Commission office, review your Form 18 filing and medical authorization. Contact our workers' compensation team to schedule that review before the deadline passes.
