i live and work in louisiana, as an independent contractor for a co. out of n. c.

[Mr. Knowitall]

If you're not an employee, then you wouldn't be covered by workers' comp. Presumably you're obtaining benefits through a program for workers not covered by comp. As you are reluctant to make clear in what state you are making your claim, I suggest you check the laws of Louisiana and North Carolina for additional details.
