Every step of a North Carolina workers' comp claim, from the first authorized visit to the Form 18 filing to the hearing itself, carries a deadline or technical requirement that can decide what you're paid. Before you accept a denial or a reduced check as final, have someone who handles Industrial Commission hearings regularly look at the file. If your claim started on the Guilford County side, our [High Point workers' comp lawyer](/locations/high-point/workers-compensation) page covers the same process with High Point-specific detail. Schedule a consultation with our workers' compensation team to review your claim, your wage calculation, and whether your deadline under § 97-24 has already started running.
