Understanding Deadlines and NCIC Procedure

Workers' compensation in North Carolina is governed by statutes, Commission rules, and formal filing requirements. Deadlines matter.



The NC Industrial Commission publishes rules and, under specific circumstances, may issue orders affecting procedural time periods. Staying compliant with NCIC procedure helps reduce deadline risk and protect benefits.


Common procedural steps include:


  • Reporting the injury promptly
  • Filing Form 18
  • Responding to denials or suspension filings
  • Requesting hearings when necessary


Keeping the claim organized and form-compliant reduces avoidable delays.
