Danielle Hughes

Danielle Hughes works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in North Carolina. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Danielle Hughes handles all types of workers' compensation cases in North Carolina, including Workers Compensation, Occupational Disease, Death Benefits, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In North Carolina, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Danielle immediately after any workplace injury.

With 20 years of experience in North Carolina workers' comp law, Danielle knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.
