Information for Injured Workers from Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

Unfortunately, the laws in North Carolina are full of pitfalls and loopholes that make it easy for someone handing their own workers’ comp claim to completely ruin their case. That doesn’t mean that you can't handle your own case – it means that you need to be prepared with information to protect yourself.

We are Oxner Thomas + Permar. Our lawyers have handled literally thousands of workers compensation claims. In doing so, we’ve learned a lot. We have seen people – smart people just like you – ruin their workers’ comp claim by signing the wrong form, ignoring a letter, even by trying to do the “right” thing.

If you’ve been hurt at work, you might not need an attorney, but you definitely need information. We are happy to offer our latest book “10 Ways to Wreck Your Workers’ Comp Claim” free.

10 Ways to Wreck Your Workers’ Comp Claim

Why do we offer this instead of making you come in for a free consultation that is really a sales pitch? We do it because we are different. We’ll tell you right up front: You may not need a lawyer. We may not be the right lawyers for you. But you do need the information necessary to handle your claim. For years we’ve taken more cases to hearings than just about any firm around. We’ve developed a reputation for refusing to settle cases except on terms very favorable to our clients.

We take only a select number of cases at a time. In fact, we agree to represent far less than half of the people who contact us. But even if we cannot personally handle your claim we’re not going to sit by and watch the adjusters take advantage of more injured workers. That’s why we would like to send you a free copy of our book that retails for $19.95.

10 Ways to Wreck Your Workers’ Comp Claim

Let’s face it: The North Carolina Workers Compensation Act favors employers and insurance companies. The insurance companies take advantage of the fact that you probably don’t know the ins-and-outs of workers’ compensation laws. This book protects you from making common mistakes that injured workers make in trying to handle their own cases. Unfortunately, workers’ compensation laws can be complicated and it’s easy for an injured worker to do something to ruin his or her case. This free book helps you to avoid those pitfalls. We are out to level the playing field and to give every injured worker in North Carolina a chance to get the respect they deserve.

10 Ways to Wreck Your Workers’ Comp Claim

Complete the form below to receive your no obligation, risk free, no annoying callback book. We will also send you a copy of our newsletter and some case studies which will give you detailed examples of how we handle cases. But remember, we will not call you or write you asking to let us represent you, and will never ever give anyone else your private information. We simply want you to do well in your workers compensation claim.

Send me the report. I know you won't sell my name and you won't call me or bug me about my case.
