Understanding South Carolina Workers’ Compensation

South Carolina law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover employees who are injured on the job. Unlike personal injury claims, workers’ compensation does not require you to prove that your employer was at fault. If your injury happened during the course of your work, you are generally entitled to benefits.

These benefits can include:

  • Medical expenses and treatment
  • Temporary total disability (TTD) payments
  • Permanent partial or total disability compensation
  • Vocational rehabilitation
  • Mileage reimbursement for medical appointments
  • Death benefits for surviving family members (in fatal accidents)

Even though the law is designed to protect workers, the process is often confusing and met with resistance from employers or their insurance companies. That’s where we come in.

Common Types of Workplace Injuries

At Murdaugh Law Group, we handle a wide range of workers’ compensation cases involving injuries such as:

  • Back and neck injuries
  • Repetitive motion injuries (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome)
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Slip and fall injuries
  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Burns, electrical injuries, or chemical exposure
  • Hearing or vision loss
  • Occupational illnesses, such as respiratory diseases or toxic exposure

Whether your injury occurred on a construction site, in an office, in a warehouse, or while driving a company vehicle, we are here to protect your rights and help you through the recovery process.

What to Do After a Workplace Injury

If you’ve been injured at work, taking the right steps early on can protect your claim and improve your chances of receiving full benefits. Here’s what to do:

  1. Report the injury to your employer immediately. South Carolina law requires that you notify your employer within 90 days.

  2. Seek medical attention. Your employer may direct you to a specific doctor or facility.

  3. Document everything. Keep records of your injuries, treatment, missed work, and conversations with your employer or insurance representatives.

  4. Contact a workers’ compensation attorney. Having experienced legal counsel can ensure your rights are protected from the start.

Delays, denials, or disputes are unfortunately common in the workers’ comp system. We’re here to guide you through each step and push back when your benefits are at risk.
