In the wake of a workplace injury, you may find yourself dealing with more than just physical pain. The uncertainty of financial stability, the anxiety of when and if you can return to work, and the burden of accumulating expenses can be overwhelming. At John Price Law Firm, LLC, we recognize these challenges and are here to offer our support and representation.
Our team is dedicated to assisting workers from all walks of life, including construction workers, state and hospital employees, office professionals, and many others who have suffered injuries on the job. We understand South Carolina workers’ compensation claims and are committed to ensuring that you receive the benefits you rightfully deserve, especially when facing resistance from insurance companies.
The South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Claim Process
The journey to a successful workers’ compensation claim in South Carolina begins with promptly reporting your injury to your employer. This step sets the foundation for your claim. Once reported, your employer will document the details of the incident and file a claim with their insurance provider. However, it’s important to remember that the compensation offered by insurance companies may not always align with your actual needs. This is where our representation comes into play.
Our attorneys assess the full scope of your injury and its implications on your life. We work to ensure that your settlement not only addresses your immediate medical bills and lost income but also takes into account future treatments, lost wages, and any ongoing benefits you may require.
Understanding Your Settlement Options
We provide detailed guidance on the types of work injury settlements available to you, including lump sum payments and structured payment plans.
A lump sum settlement offers a one-time payment covering all your medical costs and reimbursements under the claim. In contrast, structured payment plans provide regular payments over a specified period, which may include a separate account for future medical bills.
Our attorneys will help you understand these options and negotiate with the insurance company to secure a settlement that comprehensively covers your needs.
We Offer Comprehensive Representation for Different Injuries
Our experience in workers’ compensation cases is extensive. We have successfully represented clients with a wide range of injuries, from chemical burns and carpal tunnel to more severe cases like loss of limb, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries.
No matter the nature of your injury - whether it occurred on a construction site, in an office, or any other workplace - our goal is to ensure that you receive all the benefits you are entitled to.
Advocating for Your Rights and Future
In addition to covering your medical expenses and disability benefits, we also consider the need for vocational training if your injury requires a career change. If you have faced any adverse reactions at work for filing a workers’ compensation claim, we are here to protect your rights and interests.
