    Mission of the Industrial Commission


    The North Carolina Industrial Commission is vested as a court of exclusive and original jurisdiction by the General Assembly to adjudicate and administer the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act.

    The Industrial Commission processes over 65,000 workers' compensation injury reports and claims filed annually under the Act. This responsibility includes overseeing and providing for the trial of contested cases as well as administering non-contested cases.

    Workers who are injured by accident on the job or who contract an occupational disease receive disability and medical benefits as ordered by the Industrial Commission.

    The Industrial Commission is also a court of original jurisdiction for litigating tort claims against the State under the North Carolina State Tort Claims Act.

    Additionally, the General Assembly has mandated the Industrial Commission to provide an adjudicated process for Childhood Vaccine-Related Injury claims, Compensation to Persons Erroneously Convicted of Felonies, and Eugenics claims.

    It acts as a court of exclusive and final jurisdiction for death claims made by families of law enforcement officers, fire fighters, rescue squad workers and civil air patrol members arising under the Public Safety Employees' Death Benefits Act.

    Each of these adjudicatory systems requires administration of contested and uncontested claims, review of agreements, and supervision of payment of benefits.

    Primary Purpose of the Organizational Unit


    The Deputy Commissioner Section provides for the trial of contested cases and the administration of non-contested cases under the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act and Public Safety Employees' Death Benefits Act.

    This Section also serves as the court having exclusive jurisdiction over tort claims against State Departments and Agencies.

    Additionally, the Deputy Commissioner Section adjudicates claims filed pursuant to the Childhood Vaccine-Related Injury Compensation Program, as well as claims filed by persons who contend they were erroneously convicted of a felony.

    The Deputy Commissioner Section consists of Deputy Commissioners, Special Deputy Commissioners, paralegals, and legal assistants who work together to ensure that cases are determined and administered in a timely, efficient, and equitable manner.

    Primary Purpose of the Position


    The legal assistant primarily aids one or more Deputy Commissioners by performing word processing tasks and preparing and serving hearing calendars, correspondence, opinion and awards, orders, and other Industrial Commission decisions in a computer-based, paperless system.

    The legal assistant communicates with claimants, adjusters, medical provider offices, court reporters, attorneys, and Industrial Commission personnel by phone and written correspondence.

    The legal assistant cross-trains with each staff position in the Deputy Commissioner Section to be able to perform the work of other staff members when agency needs dictate.

    This position is relied upon by the public and the Deputy Commissioner Section for accurate and timely document management, the processing and service of orders in a large volume of cases, and timely and professional responsiveness to claimants, attorneys, and all other parties involved in the Industrial Commission cases.
