Services
Filing a Workers' Comp Claim
We help injured workers fulfill their duty to notify employers and file Workers Compensation claims within legally required timeframes. Our guidance focuses on preventing loss of benefits due to late reporting or incomplete filings. We ensure Form 18 is properly prepared to reflect how the accident occurred. Should a claim be denied, we stand ready to pursue a hearing before the Industrial Commission.
Medical Treatment
We manage all aspects of medical treatment for compensable workplace injuries, ensuring care is aimed at recovery, pain reduction, and a safe return to work. Authorized physicians determine appropriate services, make referrals, and establish work limitations. We help employees protect their ongoing medical rights, address provider disagreements, and secure approval for recommended treatment when employers contest it.
Disability Benefits
We guide injured workers through the disability benefits available under North Carolina workers compensation, ensuring they understand when payments begin, how long they may continue, and how compensation is calculated. Our team explains temporary and permanent benefit options, assists with disability proof requirements, and clarifies the role of Average Weekly Wage in determining proper payments under the law.
Occupational Diseases
We assist employees in understanding how workplace exposures and repetitive physical demands can lead to qualifying occupational diseases under North Carolina workers compensation law. Our team explains the distinctions between listed conditions and those requiring proof of increased risk. We guide workers through establishing causation based on medical evidence. We also support timely filing and notification to protect their claims.
Questions
Do I need a workers' compensation lawyer?
You should consult a Board Certified Workers' Compensation Lawyer if you have questions about your claim, face medical treatment denials, or receive unfair settlement offers. Legal representation ensures proper handling of complex cases.
Is my workplace injury covered?
Most work-related injuries are covered if they arise from employment. This includes accidents, occupational diseases, and injuries occurring during work duties. Consult a specialist to confirm your specific case eligibility.
How do I file a workers' comp claim?
Notify your employer immediately, seek medical treatment, and file Form 18 with the North Carolina Industrial Commission. A lawyer can help ensure proper documentation and timely submission.
What disability benefits am I entitled to?
Benefits depend on injury severity and wage loss. Temporary total disability pays two-thirds of wages during recovery. Permanent impairment ratings determine long-term compensation amounts based on state guidelines.
Should I accept a settlement offer?
Carefully evaluate offers with legal counsel. Settlements may affect future medical benefits. A specialist can assess fair compensation and long-term implications before finalizing any agreement.
How are medical treatments handled?
Employers must provide necessary medical care for work injuries. This includes doctor visits, prescriptions, and rehabilitation. Disputes over treatment can be resolved through the Industrial Commission with legal assistance.

Mr. Bunn and his assistant Joanne were amazing to work with and I highly recommend them. It was obvious from the very start that they had my best interest at heart. He was very straightforward and did not make unrealistic promises. They thoughtfully addressed all my concerns and spent the time ensuring I was comfortable with and understood everything being discussed. I never felt I was being rushed and am so grateful for them.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Attorney Bunn truly listened to me and helped me when I was dealing with a very difficult situation. I needed to focus my energy on healing and getting better. Attorney Bunn was a true partner in the process; helping me navigate paperwork, terms, forms, etc. His website was so informative. He knows his stuff! He's respected by his peers, his community and his clients. If you need a highly-skilled attorney who is thorough, handles your case with integrity, and treats you with respect, contact Kevin Bunn. He and his paralegal, Joanne are absolutely the best!

I wish I could give 10 stars. Attorney Bunn took on my Workmens Comp. case when I was lied to by another attorney. It was not an easy case, but he didnt give up after getting all the information. He was very honest and professional. His staff is so dedicated to getting every detail right and having all the correct documents. I highly recommend Mr. Bunn and his staff.

Mr Bunn and his assistant Joanne were professional throughout my process which lasted over a year. They always were honest and told me to be patient.

I was injured at my workplace last year and went through Workmens' Comp for my medical treatment. At the end of that process I was offered a settlement that I had questions about. Kevin Bunn was referred to me by another lawyer that I trust. Mr Bunn took the time to listen to my story, asked questions that focused on the pertinent information and was able to clear up the questions that I had. He gave me some good solid advice while making me feel comfortable. I will refer anyone to give him a call about any Workmens' Comp questions.

We met with Kevin about a workmans comp issue. Although he will not be able to represent us in this matter, as the accident took place out of state, he was very generous with his time explaining the law and advising us on future actions to take. He contacted attorneys that may be able to help in the state involved. It's a shame that he will not be representing us as he showed extensive knowledge and the ability to explain the details involved.

I shared space with Kevin for several years and saw firsthand how he conducted business and treated his clients. He was honest, ethical, and forthright with his clients. Never hesitated to do the right thing on a case, even if it meant cutting his fees. If you are injured in a workplace accident, I highly recommend you contact Kevin.

Mr. Bunn went above and beyond helping us with sensitive advice. He was on vacation, and still took the time to go over our concerns. He is very well informed,and cared enough to take the time to explain every detail. I would highly recommend this wonderful attorney.
