Public Databases
The N.C. Industrial Commission provides public access to half a dozen full-text searchable databases via Livelink™. They allow citizens to access Full Commission, Deputy Commissioner, and state appellate court decisions about workers' compensation and tort cases.
The Industrial Commission also offers an NCIC Mediator Database and an N.C. Workers’ Compensation Name Search System. The NCIC Mediator Database lists both Mediators on the N.C. Industrial Commission’s Appointed List and Mediators who are not on that list but may be chosen by the parties as their Mediator; and the Workers’ Comp Name Search System provides business addresses and telephone numbers of employers and insurance carriers, and identifies the carrier (if any) providing workers’ compensation coverage to each employer.
NCIC Livelink™ Databases
The Industrial Commission offers public access to the following four full-text searchable databases:
- Deputy Commissioner: Decisions since March 2000.
- Full Commission: Decisions since December 1994.
- N.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeals: Slip opinions since 1994.
- Statutes: N.C. Industrial Commission Rules and N.C. General Statutes related to Industrial Commission matters.
There are two other search options -- Enterprise and Enterprise [All Versions] -- that allow the public to search two or more of these four databases simultaneously.
