Giving a recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurance company without legal guidance is one of the most common and costly mistakes injury victims make. Insurance adjusters are trained to find inconsistencies that reduce or eliminate your recovery. What you say in the first 48 hours matters more than most people realize.

Important alert for families in Hickory, Burke County, Catawba County, and surrounding North Carolina communities:

North Carolina health officials have confirmed that several baby goats from the Farm Adventures mobile petting zoo tested positive for rabies. The zoo appeared at events across the area between July 28 and August 27, including a private event near Hickory on August 9 and events in Statesville, Mocksville, and Lexington.

If you or your children touched, held, or fed the goats at any of these events, contact your county health department immediately. Catawba County residents can call (828) 695-5769.

Do not wait for symptoms. Rabies can be prevented when post-exposure treatment is provided before symptoms develop.

Please share this information with families who may have attended one of these events. Many of those potentially exposed were children.

We've put together a full breakdown of the known event locations, recommended health steps, and what families facing treatment costs should know about their potential legal rights:

In North Carolina, the insurance carrier handling your workers' compensation claim typically selects your treating physician. That means the doctor managing your recovery may have a financial relationship with the same company trying to limit your benefits. Knowing your rights to request a second opinion can change the outcome of your case.

Nurses and healthcare workers face some of the highest rates of on-the-job injuries of any profession. Lifting patients, working long shifts, and responding to emergencies puts constant physical strain on the body, and when an injury happens, the path to workers' compensation benefits is not always straightforward.

North Carolina law provides workers' compensation protections for nurses and CNAs injured on the job, covering medical treatment, lost wages, and long-term disability when applicable. Knowing how to navigate the claims process matters when your livelihood is on the line.

When a piece of industrial equipment malfunctions and injures a worker, the cause is not always operator error. Defective machinery design, inadequate safety guards, poor maintenance by a third-party contractor, or a manufacturer's failure to warn of known hazards can all create liability outside of the standard workers' compensation framework. Those additional claims can allow an injured worker to recover compensation for pain and suffering, which workers' comp alone does not provide.

If you were hurt by industrial equipment or machinery in a North Carolina manufacturing facility, understanding all your avenues of recovery matters:

08/26/2026

Many injured workers in North Carolina believe that because they had a previous back injury, shoulder surgery, or other pre-existing condition, they are not eligible for workers' compensation benefits after a new workplace accident. That assumption is incorrect. North Carolina law recognizes that a new work incident can aggravate a pre-existing condition, and that aggravation can form the basis of a compensable claim.

If you have been told your claim will be denied because of your medical history, speaking with an experienced workers' compensation attorney can help clarify what the law actually allows:

Motorcycle accidents often result in some of the most severe injuries on the road. Without the protection of an enclosed vehicle, riders face a far greater risk of fractures, surgical injuries, and extended recovery periods that can stretch on for months while medical bills and lost income continue to pile up.

North Carolina motorcyclists injured through another driver's negligence have the right to pursue compensation for the full impact of their injuries, not just immediate medical costs. Building a strong claim requires understanding everything at stake.

08/24/2026

One of the most misunderstood aspects of North Carolina workers' compensation law is that the employer's insurance carrier typically has authority to direct the injured worker's medical treatment. That means the doctor treating your injury may have been selected by the same company that is also managing what it pays out on your claim. Knowing your rights to challenge that arrangement and request additional evaluations can change the outcome of your case.

Injured workers in North Carolina have specific rights that many employers and insurers do not volunteer. Review how workers' compensation medical care works and what you can do to protect your recovery:
