Workers’ Compensation

Along with assisting employees in employment law matters, Brett also assists injured workers in South Carolina in obtaining the full benefits available to them as provided by law.

Workplace injuries, especially ones that cause lost wages, can be devastating to working families. As an injured employee, you have certain obligations, such as notifying your employer of your work-related injury within 90 days of the accident, and rights.  If you have questions about your obligations and rights under the South Carolina workers’ compensation laws, Brett and his staff will be happy to answer them.

Common Workers’ Compensation Injuries

Some common on-the-job injuries include but are not limited to the following:

• Back and neck injuries and trauma
• Head trauma from falling objects
• Head injuries
• Slip and fall injuries
• Damage to the shoulders, knees, and wrists
• Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs)
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Tendonitis
• Crush injuries

If you have been injured while working, you likely have the right to file and be awarded workers’ compensation benefits.  If your employer is disputing eligibility for benefits based on your employment status, give us a call to discuss the details of your workplace accident and whether you may be eligible to receive benefits.
