Understanding Your Rights as a Hospital Worker
Working in a hospital comes with inherent risks, but it also comes with rights. As a North Carolina employee, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if you are injured on the job, regardless of fault.

Common Hospital Workplace Injuries
Understanding the types of injuries that can occur in hospital settings is crucial for both workers and their legal representatives. Our hospital workers injury attorneys in Charlotte have encountered a range of cases, including but not limited to:
- Slips, Trips, and Falls: Hospital environments can be fast-paced and hectic, increasing the risk of slips, trips, and falls. These incidents can result in injuries ranging from sprains to fractures.
- Exposure to Hazardous Materials: Hospital workers often deal with hazardous materials and biohazards, leading to potential exposure and health complications. Our Charlotte Workers’ Compensation Lawyers are adept at handling cases involving occupational diseases and illnesses.
- Patient Handling Injuries: Nurses, aides, and other healthcare professionals may suffer injuries while lifting or transferring patients. These injuries can have long-lasting effects, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

What Real Clients Have To Say
Tara D.
I was at a point of despair & thought that my then employer would do the right thing. Lou’s honesty, and integrity; along with his guidance gave me the dose of reality that I needed to see the true colors of legality in corporate America. Without his savvy I would have been blindsided! Cherie, always responded to all of my responses, and nervous reactions and made sure Lou was aware of what was happening! Great firm, I would highly recommend to anyone who wants respect, honesty and guidance as a client!
Aunyette S.
Mr.Waple has handled both of my cases very well. I definitely recommend this team of professional lawyers and secretaries. Thank you!
Tashaun H.
My experience working with Lou was an absolute joy. From our very first conversation, he assured me that he would work relentlessly to help me secure adequate compensation for my case and he did just that. His paralegal, Cheri, was helpful with timely responses to any and all questions I had and she helped reduce the stress of a very tedious process. I highly recommend this firm for any future litigation and would love to work with them again if the opportunity arises.

Lindsey Houk helped me gain custody of my son from a very toxic and unhealthy environment with his biological mom. Thanks to Lindsey, I was able to provide him with the stability he needed. Thank you for your hard work and unwavering dedication to our case. You were always available, promptly filed emergency documents, and provided unwavering support from the moment we first discussed my case in your office. Some might say you were just doing your job, but whatever the case, my family appreciates you so much. My son is the true definition of...

Mr. Lou Waple & his associates rendered great & professional services to me from day one handling my case. They are very friendly & stayed on top of everything. I will use them again if needed in the future & I highly recommend them to others.

Lou and the team was just what I needed. They never left me in doubt. It was like he held my hand the whole way through. He worked with the workers comp agency and I didn't have to deal with them. Thanks team.
David P.
Lou and Cheri were absolutely amazing! Cheri went above and beyond any expectations I had to make sure I was taken care of. Lou was there for all of my questions and made sure the mediation went the way it should by engaging the moderator and making sure the insurance company was held responsible for the compensation to me for my injuries. Thank you both and your entire team for helping me through this horrendous tragedy. I am forever grateful to you!

I have never had to even think about finding a lawyer considering I’m only 31, never would I imagined needing one. But Waple and Houk saved my life. Lou Waple, I can’t say enough kind words about this man. He become part of my life not just a lawyer, he listened when I cried, he fought for me like no one else was, he got what I deserved in the end and if it wasn’t for him idk where I’d be...

Lou Waple was the best. I’ve never had to deal with a workman’s compensation claim before. Lou was there any time to answer my questions and concerns and made sure I was treated fairly. I highly recommend his services.
