Workplace Injuries

occupational injury lawInjured at Work

Your South Carolina employer is required to carry insurance that covers your medical bills and replaces a portion of your wages when a workplace accident or occupational injury prevents you from returning to work.

You have the right to:

  • Consult an attorney about your workers' comp injury
  • Challenge what your employer and the insurance carrier decide about your injury
  • Medical treatment
  • Receive a portion of their weekly wages
  • Compensation for permanent or partial disabilities
  • A one-time independent medical exam by a doctor of their own choosing
  • If you die as a result of a work-related injury, your survivors will receive a death benefit
  • If the injury involved a defective product or a safety mechanism was intentionally disabled, you may have a claim against a third party, or perhaps the manufacturer

 The Maxwell Law Firm has handled all types of claims on behalf of injured workers. We work with your physicians and the employer's insurance company to ensure that you are approved for workers' comp benefits in a timely manner and that you receive all benefits to which you are entitled under South Carolina's Workers' Compensation law.  We are familiar with every type of workplace accident and job-related injury:

  • Construction accidents including falls, back injury from heavy lifting, scaffolding and ladder accidents
  • Machinery, tool and equipment injury
  • Slip and fall on wet surfaces
  • Motor vehicle accidents in the course of your job
  • Debilitating muscle strains and sprains
  • Repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome

 If you were injured in an on-the-job car accident, your employer's workers' compensation policy may provide some benefits. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the crash, you may be entitled to additional compensation from a variety of sources.

Your employer's insurance may cover your medical expenses but may not fully compensate you for lost wages, disability and pain and suffering. Other insurance policies, including that of your own auto insurance and that covering the driver of the van, auto or truck that hit you, may provide such compensation.

If you feel that you may have a case, call us or email us today.
