Injured In A Work-Related Accident In South Carolina?

Being injured at work can massively impact your life — both physically and financially. You might be recovering from severe injuries and be unable to work for weeks, months, or longer.

While you might be reluctant to file a claim against your employer — whether out of fear of retaliation or because you don’t think your injuries are serious enough — it’s your right to seek compensation after a work-related injury.

 

Workers’ compensation, also called workers’ comp, allows you to focus on your recovery, knowing your lost wages and medical expenses are covered.

Our workers’ compensation lawyers in Greenville, SC, can help you navigate the complex workers’ comp system, so you get the compensation you deserve.

Contact our South Carolina workers’ compensation attorneys today to start the process with a free, no-obligation case review.

How Our Greenville Workers' Compensation Lawyers Can Help You After A Work-Related Injury

If you’re injured at work, you deserve justice for what happened to you. Our highly experienced South Carolina workers’ compensation lawyers can help you by:

  • Explaining the workers’ compensation process
  • Exploring all avenues to determine who is responsible (whether your employer or a third party, such as if you are injured by defective equipment)
  • Gathering evidence to support your claim
  • Helping you get the best medical treatment for your injuries
  • Representing you in negotiations with your employer and insurance companies to secure a fair settlement
  • Advocating for your rights throughout the entire process
  • Explaining your options if your workers’ comp claim is denied.

If you’re unable to work because of your injuries, our workers’ comp attorneys will establish your lost earnings — including how much you’ll lose in the future due to being unable to return to work — so you can recover it as part of your claim. Our sole focus is to look after you and get the justice you need to help you recover from your accident.

If you have been injured in a work-related accident, don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your case. 

Our Greenville workers’ compensation attorneys are on your side.

What Injuries And Accidents Does Workers' Compensation Cover?

The workplace can be dangerous. Even environments considered fairly safe — such as an office — can cause severe injuries. You’re equally entitled to workers’ comp if you trip over an unlaid piece of carpet and bump your head on a desk or develop a repetitive stress injury (RSI) from sitting at your desk all day as you are if you’re injured while working at a construction site. In this environment, you might be hit by a swinging object, be exposed to hazardous materials, sustain eyesight or hearing damage, or fall from height. Unsurprisingly, common job-related injuries include fractured bones, damaged limbs, and internal, skeletal, and spinal injuries.

Any of these injuries can limit or prevent you from continuing to do your job. Some workplace injuries may affect you for the rest of your life or cause lifelong psychological trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder.

While not an exhaustive list, some of the most common causes of workplace accidents and the resulting injuries include:

Our South Carolina workers’ compensation attorneys at The Clardy Law Firm are experienced in handling claims for all types of injuries sustained at work.

Who's At Fault In A Workers' Compensation Claim?

If you’re considering filing a workers’ compensation claim, your employer may say you aren’t entitled to workers’ comp because you were distracted when you sustained your injury or weren’t looking where you were going when you hurt yourself. But even if your accident was your fault, you’re still entitled to compensation.

An essential part of the workers’ comp claims process is showing that your injury happened at work. Medical reports, site reports, and eyewitness statements can make all the difference between getting a substantial settlement and getting very little compensation that doesn’t cover your long-term expenses or receiving no compensation at all.

Whoever is responsible for your workplace injury, you may still be entitled to compensation to support your recovery. Our South Carolina workers’ compensation lawyers can help you get what you deserve.

YOU DON'T PAY A SCENT UNLESS WE WIN YOUR CASE

Workers’ compensation claims can be complex, but our experienced Greenville workers’ compensation lawyers can explain your legal rights and answer any questions you may have. You have every right to pursue a compensation claim for an injury at work and shouldn’t worry about losing your job or any other reprisal because you’ve exercised your legal right. The award-winning workers’ comp lawyers at The Clardy Law Firm are dedicated to helping Greenville workers.

Time can quickly run out when you’re considering making a workers’ compensation claim in South Carolina. The statute of limitations is just two years from the date of your accident, but there are exceptions. Our workers’ compensation attorneys can advise if they apply to you.

Protect your legal rights and get the justice you deserve with the support of our expert Greenville workers’ comp lawyers.

How Our Greenville Workers' Compensation Lawyers Can Help If Your Claim Is Denied

Unfortunately, filing a workers’ comp claim isn’t always a smooth process, and your claim may not be approved. Workers’ compensation claims can be denied for several reasons, such as:

  • Your employer claims your injury or illness isn’t work-related
  • You didn’t report your injury immediately
  • Your employer otherwise disputes the claim.

However, you still have options if your workers’ comp claim is denied. Our workers’ compensation attorneys in South Carolina can help you appeal your claim so you can recover the compensation you deserve.

The first step of the appeals process is usually to meet with your employer for mediation. If you cannot do this, you’ll need to attend a formal hearing before the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission. During this hearing, your attorney will present evidence supporting your claim and state your case for receiving compensation. Our workers’ compensation lawyers will guide you through the process and use our years of experience to represent you and help ensure the best possible outcome.

Workers' Compensation FAQs

If you’re injured at work, you must tell your employer in writing as soon as possible. While you have two years to file a workers’ compensation claim, you must report your injuries to your employer within 90 days of your accident. Still, it’s recommended to inform your employer early on to reduce the chance of your claim being denied due to delayed reporting.

You do not have to file a claim with the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission — this is your employer’s responsibility. If they refuse to claim, get a reason for the denial in writing and contact a South Carolina workers’ compensation lawyer to explore your options.

While you don’t need to hire a workers’ comp lawyer for your claim, it’s often in your best interest to have legal representation. Our experienced Greenville workers’ compensation attorneys can protect your rights, gather evidence, help you get the medical treatment you need, and increase your chances of recovering your lost wages and expenses.

It is illegal in South Carolina for an employer to retaliate against an employee for filing a workers’ compensation claim. It is your right to recover compensation, so you should seek legal advice if you have been fired or treated unfairly for claiming (such as being put on reduced hours upon returning to work or denied certain benefits).

As a general rule, all employers in South Carolina are mandated to have workers’ compensation insurance. However, there are exceptions. These are if a business:

  • Has fewer than four employees (including part-time workers and family members) and has an annual payroll of less than $3,000
  • Has casual employees, agricultural employees, or federal employees
  • Is a state and county fair association
  • Is a railroad or railway express company.

If your employer does not have workers’ compensation insurance, you may be entitled to benefits via the Uninsured Employers’ Fund, which provides coverage for employees of uninsured employers. You may also be able to file a personal injury claim if your work injury was caused by the negligence or recklessness of a third party (such as a manufacturer).

Our workers’ compensation lawyers in South Carolina can advise you on the best route to take based on your situation.

If you have a preexisting condition that has been made worse by your work-related injury or illness, you may still be entitled to claim. However, your accident must be a major contributing factor. Our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys can help you determine if you’re eligible.

Unfortunately I was recently rear ended. I was fortunate to work with a great attorney, Genevieve Weaver from The Clardy Law Firm. I really believe the she did a outstanding job of representing my interests and obtaining a fair settlement on my behalf. Both she and their investigator, Jeff Flynn, did a great job of keeping me informed on the status of my case. Every time I called or emailed both Ms. Weaver and Mr. Flynn they were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had. I have no hesitation in recommending The Clardy Law Firm and Ms. Weaver.

So I ended up not retaining a lawyer at this time but Tim went out of his way to speak to me on the phone and even met with me in person to go over my information. He advised me the best way to proceed and took time to help me better understand the process of a claim. He was honest and up front which is a rare quality these days! I wasn't even charged for his time. Needless to say, if I happen to need an attorney in the future, he will be my first choice.
