PROS TO KNOW: Work Injury Lawyers

On the job injuriesIf you have suffered an injury on the job that prevents you from working,you should consider contacting an experienced and qualified job injurylawyer. Experience with on-the-job injuries and workers’ compensationclaims can help you collect the compensation you need to meet yourfamily’s expenses while you complete your physical recovery.

In South Carolina, employees injured at work can file a claim forworkers’ compensation benefits. This process is intended to be faster andmore streamlined than a civil lawsuit, and can result in payments for lostincome and medical expenses without the need to prove that anyonewas at fault. If you run into any problems with your workers’ compclaim, an experienced attorney can help you prove any disputed issues,such as your status as an employee, the nature or severity of your injury,or whether you have recovered enough to go back to work.

An experienced lawyer should also examine your case to see whether you might recover damages for personal injuriesfrom a third party through a civil lawsuit. You can’t sue your own employer, but you can sue negligent property owners,manufacturers of dangerous or defective tools or equipment, or careless drivers responsible for motor vehicle accidentswhile you’re working.

Our South Carolina attorneys can help you in situations regarding industrial accidents and injuries, such as:

• Forklift accidents in warehouses• Automobile accidents occurring during work-related travel• Chemical or radiation exposure in factories or plants• Injuries to your back, shoulders, or wrists caused by repetitive use or stress trauma on the job• Severe injuries caused by fires, explosions, or electrocution• Traumatic brain injury, closed head wounds, or spinal cord damage caused by falls from roofs,
