Workers' Compensation Attorney in Hilton Head

Any injury that occurs during the course of employment which prevents an employee from performing their daily responsibilities is grounds for workers’ compensation. If you’ve experienced any of the following situations, and the insurance company has denied your claim, you might be entitled to compensation:

• You were exposed to harmful chemicals and have developed medical conditions directly resulting from your exposure
• You slipped on a hazardous surface
• An item fell from above and struck you

The Workers’ Compensation Act in South Carolina offers protections for employees who are injured while working. If you become the victim of a workplace injury, you are entitled to be compensated for:

• Required medical treatment 
• Wages lost as a result of your inability to work
• Restitution for permanent disfigurement/disability

Most workers’ compensation claims are filed promptly by the individual’s employer, and the coverage arrives without issue. Nevertheless, some employers and insurance companies will try to diminish or deny the injury to avoid having to pay out the coverage. This strategy to pay workers less than they’re owed is unethical and, unfortunately, all too common. 

But this isn’t the end of the road. An employee can file an appeal on a denied claim within 14 days. Time is limited, so contact one of our South Carolina lawyers today.
