According to an article over on Workerscompensation.com, a study by The Hartford insurance company determined that more people file disability claims after the winter holidays related to depression, respiratory illnesses and injuries. While summer is the biggest time for accident related injuries, winter gets more than its share, perhaps due to bad weather related claims. I imagine this is also true for North Carolina workers' compensation claims as I always get a few calls from injured workers after a big snow or ice storm, usually related to falls on the job, or auto accidents.
