How a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Help You
What is a workers’ compensation lawyer?
A worker’s compensation lawyer represents a person who is hurt at work. Even though the workers’ compensation system is a little bit different than a lawsuit, you still have the right to legal representation. Your lawyer pursues your rights.
The benefits you receive are critical to your health and your financial future. Having our experienced lawyers by your side is an important way to protect your rights.
How does workers’ compensation work?
If you’re hurt on the job, the workers’ compensation system is meant to provide benefits without having to prove that your employer was at fault for causing the accident. You report your injury to the employer, and their insurance company provides benefits that are covered by law.
What workers’ compensation benefits can I receive?
Benefits you may receive in the workers’ compensation system are:
- Emergency medical care
- Medical care without cost from authorized providers
- Temporary replacement wages if you are unable to work
- Permanent disability compensation
The exact amount that you receive depends on your circumstances. You may receive medical care at no cost to you until you reach maximum medical improvement. Temporary wage compensation is based on your earnings before your injury up to a weekly maximum. As part of our representation, we look at the individual specifics of your case to make sure that you are being treated fairly.
Is my case going to go to trial?
It’s our goal to resolve your case in the right way for you. It’s possible to reach a resolution by settlement negotiation, but you may also have a hearing before a commissioner. You may appeal to the Circuit Court or the South Carolina Supreme Court.
Our team can customize a legal strategy for you.
