From the moment an employee is injured, there are time limits for both the employee and employer. Employers must make certain reports to the court system for North Carolina Worker's Compensation case, Industrial Commission. Employer reports do not satisfy the reporting obligations of the employee or extend the time limit for the employee to make his claim.
Under certain circumstances, an injured employee may report their injury to their employer and even be paid for time missed from work. If the employee does not make the proper filing with the Industrial Commssion, the employee's claim can be dismissed and they will receive no further benefits.
It is critical to know what benefits to demand. An injured worker is entitled to numerous benefits, unfortunately it is not the employer's obligation to advise their injured employee of these benefits. At DiRusso & DiRusso, we offer free consultations with attorneys who practice Worker's Compensation.

McKennon Law Group - Los Angeles Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer
Law Firm News |

California imposes an "implied duty of good faith and fair dealing" law in every insurance contract. This duty requires insurers to act in a fair and reasonable manner and refrain from improperly delaying or denying benefits. This includes policies that provide the following: short-term and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, long-term care insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, propety/casualty insurance, commercial general liability, professional liability, and officers & directors liability insurance. By improperly delaying or denying benefits, insurance companies may be acting in "bad faith". In California law, this is referred to as insurance bad faith. Insurance bad faith can also apply to cases where insurance companies fail to adequately investigate a claim. When an insurance company acts in its own interest rather than the interest of the insured policyholder, the insurance company may be liable for insurance bad faith. Winning an insurance bad faith claim may allow you to recover attorneys' fees, emotional distress damages, compensable economic damages, punitive damages, pre-judgment interest, post judgment interest and policy benefits.
The McKennon Law Group lawyers specialize and have many years of experience in litigating and resolving insurance bad faith disputes against insurance companies. Our attorneys have defended insurance companies with respect to these claims and so possess the most experience available anywhere.

Washington wants pot tax trial in state court
Press Release |
2014/06/03 18:58
|
The state attorney general's office has asked a federal judge in Seattle to dismiss a lawsuit challenging Washington's authority to tax marijuana sales.
In the motion Friday to U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman, the state says Martin Nickerson failed to appeal the tax assessments in a timely manner and that the issue should be resolved in state court.
The case arises from the state's attempt to collect sales taxes from a medical marijuana dispensary in Bellingham. Attorney Douglas Hiatt, who represents Nickerson, said it could throw a wrench in Washington's plans for collecting taxes on recreational marijuana, too.
The lawsuit challenges Washington state's authority to tax marijuana as long as marijuana remains illegal under federal law. |
