If you have been injured on the job, you may have questions about your rights under South Carolina’s workers’ compensation system. An experienced Anderson workers’ compensation attorney can help you protect your rights and maximize the benefits you are entitled to receive.
Located in Anderson, South Carolina, the Allen and Allen Law Firm is committed to helping you get back on your feet and obtain appropriate compensation following a work injury.
Our firm’s attorneys have more than 30 years combined experience and can handle workers’ compensation claims for clients throughout Anderson County and the Upstate. We will work hard to help you resolve your claim, so you can focus on healing from your injury.
If you miss more than seven days of work due to a work-related injury, on the eighth day, you will begin receiving temporary disability, which is two-thirds of your salary. Once you reach maximum medical improvement, you may be eligible for ongoing disability benefits.
When determining permanent disability benefits, the state will consider the severity of your injuries and the impact they will have on your ability to return to work. After a medical evaluation, you will be assigned a disability rating, which will determine the amount of permanent disability benefits you will receive.
While state law requires employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance, unfortunately, some employers resist paying legitimate claims. Allen and Allen will help you understand your rights and options under the workers’ compensation system. They will help ensure that your temporary disability benefits were calculated properly, and they will aggressively pursue the maximum amount of permanent disability benefits that are available to you.
