If you or a loved one recently got injured on the job, it\u2019s important to understand your rights in South Carolina. If you haven\u2019t already spoken to an attorney, it\u2019s important to contact a <em>workers\u2019 compensation attorney<\/em> that can fight for your rights.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top things you may not know about workers\u2019 compensation:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Workers compensation in South Carolina is \u201cno-fault\u201d\n<ul>\n<li>No-fault workers\u2019 compensation means even if your injury was a result of recklessness, you are entitled to benefits. This doesn\u2019t apply if you intentionally hurt yourself or were under the influence. If your employer is trying to withhold compensation because they claim it was your fault, you should immediately contact a <em>workers\u2019 compensation attorney.\n<p><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>There are a few exceptions to who is covered under workers\u2019 comp laws. If you work for a company with less than 4 employees, or if your company has a payroll of less than $3,000 annually, you might not be covered under South Carolina\u2019s laws. Additionally, some industries like agriculture and realtors may also not be covered.<\/li>\n<li>Your employer cannot legally fire you after you file a workers\u2019 compensation claim. If they attempt to do this, contact a <em>workers\u2019 compensation attorney<\/em> right away so you can discuss legal action.<\/li>\n<li>The cost of your medical treatments should be covered from day one of your incident. This is covered by your employer\u2019s insurance and includes things like hospitalization, medical supplies, surgery and more.<\/li>\n<li>Workers compensation also covers work-related illnesses. For example, if you were exposed to harmful chemicals or harmful conditions, you can also seek workers\u2019 compensation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about workers\u2019 compensation laws in South Carolina, contact the law offices of John Price for a confidential consultation on your rights.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Facts about Workers Compensation in South Carolina &nbsp; Workers compensation is a topic frequently ignored until attention is needed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[375,728,729,807,825],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-workerscompensation","category-workplace","category-workplacelawsuit","category-workmans-compensation-lawyer","category-workmans-compensation-attorney"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.8) -
