Are You Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Gastonia, North Carolina?
There are very few exceptions to the types of employers who do not have to have workers’ compensation, which is no accident.
Workers’ compensation is designed to protect employees from all walks of life, which is why the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act states all businesses that employ three or more employees must carry workers’ compensation insurance, or qualify as self-insured employers.
Unfortunately, just because your employer carries workers’ compensation coverage does not mean the insurance company is going to cover all the benefits our clients need to get their lives back on track.
Whether you have just begun pursuing a claim and need help ensuring you are following all steps and procedures, are receiving resistance from the insurance company, or have already received a denial for your workers’ compensation claim, we can help.
At the Ramsay Law Firm, P.A., we want to help protect your rights, eligibility, and ability to successfully pursue workers’ compensation benefits no matter where you are in the process.
We know that any delay in medical care or financial support can turn your life upside down just as much as your injury has, and we want to help ensure you do not suffer from the insurance company’s lack of cooperation during this crucial time.

Can My Workers’ Comp Claim Be Denied If I Work for a Major Employer in Gastonia, North Carolina?
Unfortunately, it is not the size or revenue of the company that matters when our clients are seeking workers’ compensation coverage that dictates their filing results.
In most cases, it is the insurance company that decides whether your injury qualifies for benefits, And like most insurance companies, they will do all they can to undervalue or deny your claim to protect their bottom line.
Even those who represent the largest employers in Gastonia, which include:
- CaroMont Regional Medical Center
- Advance Auto Parts
- City of Gastonia Government
- Curtiss-Wright Controls
- Freightliner LLC
- Gaston County Government
- Gaston County Schools
- Radici Group
- Stabilus
- Walmart
- Wix Filtration Corp.
No matter where you work, or what your position is with the company, our specialized workers’ compensation attorneys in Gastonia want to help ensure your rights are protected while filing a claim, or if you are being retaliated against by your employer for filing a claim.
If you were fired while pursuing or receiving workers’ compensation, your employer must show — and prove — there was a legitimate reason for terminating your employment, as retaliatory employment discrimination, or retaliation, is strictly forbidden under North Carolina Retaliatory Employment Discrimination Act (REDA).
If this has happened to you, contact our skilled workers’ compensation attorneys in Gastonia today to help you get your job back, recover the wages you should have been making, and even money for your legal fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
In North Carolina, workers’ compensation benefits typically include medical treatment coverage, wage replacement for lost income, and disability benefits for temporary or permanent injuries. In some cases, vocational rehabilitation or job retraining may also be available.
If you suffered an injury or illness while performing work-related duties, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation. Common qualifying injuries include falls, repetitive stress injuries, machinery accidents, and occupational illnesses caused by exposure to hazardous materials.
In North Carolina, you must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim with the North Carolina Industrial Commission within two years of the injury date.
Generally, in North Carolina, your employer or their insurance provider has the right to choose your treating physician. However, if you are unhappy with the care provided, you may request a change or seek a second opinion with proper approval.
If your injury results in long-term or permanent disability, you may be eligible for ongoing disability benefits. In cases where you cannot return to your previous job, vocational rehabilitation services may be available to help you transition to a different position.
While you are not required to have a lawyer, an experienced Gastonia workers’ compensation attorney can help ensure that you receive full benefits, assist with denied claims, and negotiate fair settlements with insurance companies.
No. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for filing a workers’ compensation claim. If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated or discriminated against, you may have grounds for legal action.
The timeline varies, but after reporting your injury and filing your claim, benefits typically begin within a few weeks if the claim is approved. If there are disputes or delays, the process can take longer, especially if appeals are necessary.
