Steps in the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Process
If you were injured in a workplace accident, the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC) recommends that you follow these steps in the workers' compensation process:
- Report your injury to your employer and seek appropriate medical treatment.
- Tell your health care provider that you were injured at work and the name of your employer.
- As soon as possible, tell your supervisor that you were injured in a work-related incident. If you are unable to do this, direct a family member, friend or health care provider to do so.
-
Provide written notice to your employer within 30 days describing your injury and when, where and how it happened. The Industrial Commission Form 18 sets forth the required information. File the document with the Industrial Commission as well.
- Follow your doctor's orders for medical treatment.
