Greensboro Workers Compensation Attorneys NC Injury Lawyers

JAY A. GERVASI, JR.: I represent injured people and worker's compensation cases and other kinds of personal injury cases. Personal injury claims are based on injury by the fault of another person. People can be injured in a number of ways--have direct injuries, broken bones, ruptured disks--can also have injuries that arise as complications of medical treatment, some strange conditions that afflict people and cause terrible problems. All of these things are compensable as worker's compensation or personal injury claims.

Worker's compensation is a no-fault system of compensation where people get hurt at work. In order to qualify for worker's compensation, an employee has to suffer injury either by accident or occupational disease. Sometimes injured workers need lawyers in their worker's compensation cases. If your case has been denied by an insurance company and you think they're wrong, don't simply take their word for it. If you're represented by a competent attorney, you may try that case and win.

I've been practicing law since 1986. And I've been certified as a specialist in worker's compensation since 2000 when the North Carolina State Bar started certifying people in that field. I spent the first four years of my career working for insurance companies. I understand their needs. I understand how they do business. And I think it makes me a better lawyer for my clients now.

I think my strengths as a lawyer are dealing with individual people on an individual basis and doing the legal work that they need. At this firm, our relationship with our clients is very personal. We're an informal bunch. This is what I wear to work most days when I don't have to go to court.

The North Carolina state motto I like is Esse Quam Videri. It means to be rather than to seem. That's they way we try to run our law practice.

Insurance companies have big advantages. They have almost unlimited money resources. And they can hire really good lawyers. I enjoy helping my clients to overcome those odds. If you find yourself in need of that kind of help, give us a call. I'm Jay Gervasi. I represent hurt people. And I just love my job.
