More details to this question:
My fiance was ran over while starting a work van from underneath. The bosses son was at the wheel. They told him not to go to the hospital, and that they would compensate him forchis time off work, he was out for about a week and went back to work because he has no other choice. His arm is damaged and getting worse. He still has not been to a hospital because he cant pay for it. We need help.

This sure sounds like a workers comp. claim to me. If the Employer has WC insurance coverage, your fiance should call their insurance company and report the claim immediately. You can also go to www.ic.nc.gov, the NC Industrial Relations web site, click injured worker and find out more information. If the Employer does not have WC coverage obtain the name of their auto liability carrier and report the claim to them.
