How Is Workers’ Compensation Defined In South Carolina?

When a worker suffers an injury on the job, the consequences they may have to deal with can be overwhelming. Even relatively minor injuries can leave workers unable to return to work for a long period of time, causing them to lose income they likely need to deal with medical bills and other costs of living. In the case of major injuries, such as serious back, knee, or brain injuries, the consequences of a work place accident may prevent you from returning to your job permanently or earning gainful employment in the future. Injured workers in South Carolina have important legal rights available through the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation system designed to provide an injured employee with necessary medical treatment, disability payments, and monetary settlements to compensate for any physical impairment or disability.

South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Sahn Law Firm – Attorneys at Law knows that many employers and insurance companies in South Carolina will deny or delay a workers their rightful workers’ compensation. There are many different reasons that may be given as to why your claim is denied. In all of these situations, the help of an experienced attorney can be essential to getting workers the medical treatment and disability compensation they deserve. If you have been injured on the job, it is best to hire the right attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your claim is properly filed and that you get the medical treatment and compensation that you deserve.

It is important to know that South Carolina workers’ compensation claims are subject to strict deadlines for reporting and filing claims and documentation. In addition, the hearing process requires an injured worker to follow many South Carolina statutes and regulations, along with complying with rules of the Commission and evidence in order to prove your claim. These requirements can be overwhelming without the right attorney on your side. Many workers’ compensation claims are lost simply because the injured worker is unaware of these laws and strict legal requirements.

Does Workers’ Compensation Cover Only Injuries Or Does It Also Cover Long Term Illnesses?

Employers required by law to provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage for employees must usually include, in addition to accidental injury, provisions for problems and illnesses caused by occupational exposures. These illnesses have to “arise out of and in the course of employment.” The working conditions have to have carried particular risks of afflicting an employee with an illness. Stress-related illness such as psychological, heart, or digestive disorders, loss of hearing from exposure to noise, repetitive motion injuries, or sickness as a result of working with a toxic substance are be examples of long-term issues that may be covered under workers’ compensation laws. Just because an injury or illness cannot be tied to a single precipitating event or occurrence does not exclude it from being considered as a valid claim.
