If you're getting paid under the table, which is ducking the government and not paying taxes like the rest of us do, then you are not eligible for workman's comp or medical insurance. You employer, who does not techinically employ you in the eyes of the law, has no obligation to cover your expenses.

What does workmans comp have to pay for when an injury is deemed catastrophic?

Such an injury/illness usually renders a person permanently disabled. In which case the person would receive WCI benefits for life. WCI pays all medical bills, all rehabilitative costs, 66 2/3%-80% of lost wages, and other benefits that are applicable. The terms of qualification and benefits are established by the laws of the state in which the person lives or the state where the injury/illness was incurred, and can be very different.

Do you have to pay back after a settlement?

Pay back whom? If you receive a settlement for an injury and you have medical bills you have to pay those bills related to the injury and it is a good idea to put any remaining funds leftover into a special account in case you get future bills for that injury. Many people go and buy a house or a car with the settlement money and then later on when they need the money to pay for injury care the money is gone and they are in real trouble. Medical insurance carriers will not pay for injury care when you have received a settlement to pay for that injury care. So be wise.

Do you have to be working to get workers compensation in North Carolina?

Worker's Comp pays for medical bills and lost wages that result from an injury or illness arising from your work. If I fall off a ladder at work, it pays my medical bills- and if I can't work due to my injury, it replaces part of my wages. However, if I fall off a ladder at home, that is not Worker's Comp. I was not a worker.
