$375,000
In North Carolina, when a worker is killed in a workplace accident, his widow and children typically are entitled to receive worker’s compensation death benefits. However, the situation can be very complicated when the worker dies while unmarried. In 2018, our North Carolina workers’ compensation attorneys requested a full evidentiary hearing before the North Carolina Industrial Commission and successfully obtained a favorable Order & Award in which we successfully proved that a young child was the proper beneficiary of a worker who had been killed on the job.
The child’s birth certificate listed no father, and she did not share his last name. There was no custody order or order for child support. However, we were able to prove, through live testimony of relatives, text messages, social media postings from holidays, and bank records, that the child had been recognized by the deceased worker as his child and that he had often bought her things or given her mother cash. This allowed the minor child and her mother to recover worker’s compensation benefits that will total over $375,000.
This case was led by Gene Riddle, managing partner, and Adam Smith, a Board-Certified Specialist in Workers’ Compensation law at Riddle & Riddle.
$375,000
Our client was a delivery driver who suffered a severe back injury while moving heavy items.

Plaintiff received wage replacement and medical benefits during recovery.

$350,000
Our client was a traveling nurse who suffered severe orthopedic injuries in a rollover car accident, including spinal burst fractures, bilateral ankle fractures, knee fractures, cervical stenosis, and radiculopathy. She underwent emergency surgery with open reduction and external fixation of bilateral ankle fractures, knee surgery, cervical, thoracic and lumbar fusion surgeries. She turned to Riddle & Riddle workers’ compensation lawyers in North Carolina, led by attorney Chris Brantley.
Our client was paid temporary total disability benefits during the healing period. All medical bills were paid. She successfully returned to work with a different employer at higher wages.
Attorney Brantley demanded an Independent Medical Evaluation and was able to secure substantial disability ratings for the client’s multiple injuries. However, the defendants refused to acknowledge the ratings, at which point we filed for a hearing to compel payment of ratings.
The claim settled prior to the hearing for $350,000 and waiver of a substantial overpayment made by the carrier.
$500,000
Our client was a truck driver who was hit by another tractor-trailer while in a loading dock. As a result of the collision, our client suffered neck, back, and elbow pain.

With representation by our workers’ comp lawyers, the case was then settled at mediation for $125,000 and a fully-funded Medicare Set Aside fund. The third-party case against the other driver was settled for $375,000, with settlements totalling $500,000 in compensation for our deserving client.

This case was handled by managing partner Gene Riddle and partner Chris Brantley, a Board-Certified Specialist and workers’ compensation lawyer in North Carolina.
Though nothing can make up for such a devastating loss, we were proud to have helped our client get the justice and compensation he deserved in this tragic case.
$685,000
Our client sustained a compensable injury to his head, neck, back, arms, chest, and shoulders, when a load of lumber was dropped on him by a third party while he was making a delivery in a warehouse. His injuries were severe and the cost of his medical treatment was astronomical. The workers’ compensation carrier paid all medical bills which exceeded several hundred thousand dollars and paid all wage loss until the date of settlement. Our client brought in North Carolina personal injury and workers’ comp attorney Gene Riddle to seek maximum compensation in the case.
Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers successfully settled the third party claim for $685,000 in additional compensation beyond what the workers’ compensation carrier paid. The workers’ compensation carrier paid an additional annuity of $6,000 per year for a period of 33 years and waived its entire lien on the third party settlement.
