Fewer Workers Injured in North Carolina

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released data that says "fewer North Carolina workers reported being injured or ill on the job in 2008." The rate dropped from 3.7 cases per 100 full-employees in 2007 to 3.4 in 2008. This drop is the lowest ever and has saved North Carolina millions of dollars.  With the decrease of the workers' compensation rate in April 2010, Labor Commissioner Cheri Berry says an estimate $120 million will be saved. For information about your North Carolina workers compensation injury please contact Kevin Bunn, at 919-319-6301 or click on the Free Consultation link on the left
