Charlotte and Richmond Lawyers who will fight to get your fair compensation

When you get hurt on the job, workers’ compensation should cover your medical care and wage loss so you can focus on healing. Unfortunately, this simple idea has become very complicated under the current workers’ compensation system, and many workers find they need an attorney to help them navigate the system.

At Hunter & Everage, we help injured workers in North Carolina and Virginia get their fair workers’ compensation. Our experienced lawyers have worked with employers and their insurance providers for our 35 years. You can talk to one of our knowledgeable attorneys in a free consultation at either our Charlotte, North Carolina, or Richmond, Virginia, offices.

Understanding the workers’ compensation system

Workers’ compensation was established around the turn of the century, and its purpose was to have employers share in the risk of worker injuries. Workers’ compensation does not require a showing of fault on the part of the employer, and the idea is that the employer is profiting off the labor of the worker and should, therefore, assume some of the costs of an employee becoming injured. There have been many changes to the workers’ compensation system since its inception, but the fundamental tenets of workers’ compensation law remain the same.

Our lawyers will be there to help you if your employer attempts to shirk their duty to you after an accident. We will thoroughly prepare your case and hold everyone accountable for the compensation that they owe you.

Helping you obtain benefits

In addition to medical treatment, workers’ compensation covers lost wages as well as permanent and temporary disability benefits. The amount of compensation a worker receives is dependent on the nature of the injury or their disability. We will determine what benefits are available and create a legal strategy that allows you to maximize your potential compensation.

Client Reviews

Thank you Atty Everage and team for your transparency and professionalism. I appreciate the space you provided that made me feel seen and heard. The empathy you exuded and most of all the care and compassion extended were unparalleled. Your attention to detail, promptness and responsiveness gave me a level of comfort and confidence. There was no doubt, I mattered and could trust your superb expertise in handling my case. I am truly a grateful client and can’t thank you and your team enough for putting me at ease during this very traumatic and stressful time. Keep fighting the good fight, we need more of it.

Chantelle Hawkins

Attorney Charles Everage and his team at Hunter & Everage were instrumental in helping me navigate the complex process of applying for Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability benefits. From the initial consultation to the final hearing, they were professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They took the time to understand my unique situation and tailored their approach to meet my needs. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was awarded the benefits I so desperately needed. I highly recommend Attorney Everage and Hunter & Everage to anyone facing a similar challenge. They are true advocates for their clients.

Deborah Currence

Attorney Everage was the 2nd attorney who handled a social security appeal for my family member. The difference was night and day. He didn’t promise us the moon but managed our expectations responsibly. He showed legal proficiency before and in the hearing and he prepared my family member what to expect. Almost more importantly, he took his valuable time and showed respect, care and consideration for my family member. He didn’t treat him like a number. For that, we give him the highest rating.

Horace Hunter is a great Lawyer, and his Paralegal Susan is on point! My case had holes in it, but when he contacted the insurance company, they offered a decent settlement.

Mark A

It was a long road of fighting for disability benefits. After my first denial, I reached out to Hunter & Everage to handle the case. They have been awesome through the rest of the journey, keeping in contact with me the whole time and staying involved. My case went as far as having to see disability Judge. They set it up to do the hearing over the phone so I didn't have to travel anywhere. One week later I received the call that I was approved and my back pay was deposited in my account that same day. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing help with their disability claim!! Thank you Hunter & Everage

Kimberly Steverson

Highly recommend. Went through three other firms, before calling. After seeing their TV commercial, just knew Hunter & Everage was the firm that would go the mile and fight for me. Don't wait... Call Hunter & Everage Now. They stood by me, even when I wanted to throw in the towel. Glad I didn't. Now can move on with my life. They will be there to answer your questions even afterward. Thank you so much.

Edward Heavener

Hunter and Everage did a wonderful job for me. Once they looked over my paperwork and decided I had a good case, they stayed in contact with me. They let me know what they needed from me and I got it to them. They are very polite and on point. They told me it would be several months before my case would go in front of the judge, however, as long as it took, feeling at a loss, was even ready to call it quits, they encouraged me to hang in there. So glad I did. It was so worth the wait. I won my case with their help.
