Injured at Work? You May Be Entitled to Compensation — And We’re Here to Fight for It.

At Vasquez Law Firm, we understand the toll a workplace injury can take on your health, your finances, and your future. From sudden accidents to injuries caused by repetitive physical stress, North Carolina workers have the right to medical care, wage replacement, and legal protection. But that doesn’t mean the system works in your favor.

That’s where we come in. Yo Peleo™ means we fight for injured workers — every day, without hesitation.

Types of Work Injuries We Handle

Whether you were hurt lifting heavy materials, suffered due to faulty equipment, or developed chronic pain from years of labor,
we know how to build a claim that gets results.
Our experience covers:

Lifting Injuries

Muscle tears, herniated discs, back injuries, and strains from lifting heavy loads or improper technique.
Common among workers in construction, factories, cleaning, and warehouse settings.

Repetitive Movement Injuries

Injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, or chronic joint pain from repetitive tasks — often ignored by employers, but legally compensable.

Equipment Accidents and Mechanical Failures

Crush injuries, amputations, or serious trauma caused by unsafe machinery or equipment malfunction in the workplace.

Construction Site Injuries

Falls, electrocutions, debris injuries, or chemical exposure on construction sites — often complex cases with multiple layers of responsibility.

Third-Party Claims in Workers’ Compensation

If someone other than your employer caused or contributed to your injury (e.g., subcontractors, equipment manufacturers),
we investigate and pursue third-party claims to maximize your recovery.

What Can Workers’ Compensation Cover?

Depending on your case, you may be eligible for:

Medical treatment and ongoing care
Temporary total or partial disability payments
Permanent injury compensation
Vocational rehabilitation
Payment for mileage to appointments
Compensation for loss of earning capacity

We handle every step of your claim — from filing and documentation to hearings and appeals if necessary.

Don’t Let an Injury Put Your Life on Hold

Many injured workers are told to “just rest” or are discouraged from filing a claim. Others are pressured to return to work too early — or worse, retaliated against for speaking up. We’re here to protect your rights.
If you’ve been hurt on the job, you are not alone. You have legal options — and we’re ready to fight for them.
