Olivia Schmidt

Olivia Schmidt 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.

Olivia Schmidt handles all types of workers' compensation cases in North Carolina, including Denied Claims, Slip and Fall, Repetitive Stress, 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 Olivia immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Olivia Schmidt's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 20 years of experience in North Carolina workers' comp law, Olivia knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.
