Addressing Your Concerns
When you suffer a workplace injury, you may have many questions. We have the answers you need to help you make informed decisions. Below are several frequently asked questions and their corresponding responses:
- Do I have to prove my employer was at fault for my injury?
No, workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. You do not need to prove that your employer’s negligence caused your injury.
- Can I receive benefits if I am partially at fault for the accident?
Yes, even if you were partially responsible for your injury, you can still receive workers’ compensation benefits.
- Can I choose my doctor?
In North Carolina, your employer gets to choose the doctor for your initial treatment. However, if you are dissatisfied with their care, you may request a one-time physician change within 30 days of starting treatment.

What Real Clients Have To Say
Darrin R.
Mr. Lou is by far the most compassionate attorney I’ve encountered and once again he helped me with a worker’s compensation claim and his paralegal was also great. Mr.Lou is very professional and he allows you room for your concerns and opinions, he’s just a great human being that doesn’t need to advertise his partnership law firm on tv just ask any of his past clients and they would totally agree with me, God forbid that I’m in a serious car accident but if I am he’s just a phone call away so if you...

Mr. Waple did a fantastic job on my case, even if I wasn't a lot of help he still came through and for that I thank you Mr. Waple.
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.
Jessie W.
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!
Scott H.
