If you were injured at work, Workers Compensation insurance is there to protect you, the hard- working employee. In South Carolina, injuries on the job are all-too common—in the healthcare industry, on construction sites, in factories—and yet so many folks put up with the pain of workplace injuries without using Workers Compensation insurance to help pay medical bills. Some who do submit a Work Comp application are denied Workers Comp coverage, their Work Comp benefits get terminated early or they have their Work Comp benefits cancelled. If you were injured on the job, or just suspect your pain is from a work injury, call South Carolina workers compensation lawyers Matthews & Megna today, at (877)253-7705.

 Healthcare worker accidents from dangerous medical instruments and hospital equipment  Construction accidents can mean surgery and long‐term physical therapy;  Repetitive stress injuries can require ongoing occupational therapy and ergonomic improvements to your workstation, office desk, office chair, computer keyboard and mouse;  Factory accidents that such as a defective forklift or exposure to toxic chemicals.

Workers Compensation is a standard business insurance to help employees recover from workplace injuries or occupational disease. In South Carolina, an employer with four or more employees is covered by the South Carolina Workers Compensation Act, which means your boss must provide Work Comp coverage if you have more than three co-workers. A Work Comp settlement can also help you and your dependents avoid hardship if you can’t work as you recover from work accident injuries. An employee who qualifies for Workmans Comp insurance for an industrial accident or illness will usually receive payments for lost wages and medical bills based on doctors’ and insurance claim adjusters’ assessment of the Workmens Comp case.

The Workers Comp process can involve a great deal of time and effort. Sometimes proving your work injury is difficult, if it is something like a back injury from a construction accident or carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive stress injuries, where there are no outward appearances of injury such as cuts or bruises. Work Comp application paperwork and injury documentation may also require work-station analysis, safety violations assessment, medical treatments, proof of improper employee training and negotiations with employers. It typically will also involve “independent medical exam,” or IME, which requires dealing with doctors. South Carolina Workmans Compensation Is a Complicated Process
