    Recognizing how your job, your employer and your specific work-site contributed to your injury can make all the difference in a successful claim.

What Workers’ Compensation Benefits Can You Recover?

Under South Carolina law, if you’re injured “in the course and scope” of employment, you may be entitled to benefits including:

  • 100% of your medical treatment for the work-related injury.
  • Weekly wage replacement (typically 2/3 of your average weekly wage) when you can’t work.
  • Permanent partial or total disability benefits if your injury leaves lasting impairment.
  • Death benefits for surviving family members when a workplace fatality occurs.
  • Reimbursement for travel or mileage to medical appointments.

Notice & Deadline You Must Know

You must report your injury to your employer as soon as possible after the incident. In South Carolina:

  • Notice should be given within 90 days of the injury unless extraordinary circumstances exist.
  • The injury must have occurred during the “course and scope” of your employment meaning you were working in furtherance of your employer’s business when injured.
  • If you delay, you may jeopardize your ability to recover.

What to Do After a Workplace Injury in North Augusta

  • Get medical treatment immediately — your health comes first.
  • Report the injury to your supervisor and document it in writing (date, time, how it happened).
  • Take photos if safe: job-site conditions, defective equipment, safety violations.
  • Request all medical records and keep copies of visits.
  • Avoid discussing the accident or signing statements before talking to a lawyer.
  • Call Ted Law Firm for a free review — early action preserves evidence and strengthens your claim.
  • Many local hospitals/clinics: Aiken Regional Medical Center, Augusta University Medical Center (if cross-state), local urgent care centers.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Our goal is to recover every dollar you’re owed under South Carolina law, including:

We use medical records, wage reports, and expert testimony to document the full impact of your crash.

Why Getting the Right Lawyer Matters

Insurance companies and employer carriers have teams working to limit your benefits. Mistakes can hurt your claim: late notice, inappropriate doctor visits, off-site injuries, or assumption that a claim will be automatic. Having a dedicated workers’ compensation lawyer means someone is on your side, watching deadlines, gathering evidence, negotiating fairly, and if needed, representing you at hearings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. How long after a work-injury do I have to file a claim?
    In SC you must give employer notice within 90 days and file your claim within applicable deadlines.
  2. What if my employer says I wasn’t injured on the job?
    You can still qualify if you were working in the course and scope of your employment  even if you were off-site or commuting under certain conditions.
  3. Will I lose my job if I file a workers’ comp claim?
    No,  South Carolina law prohibits retaliation for filing a legitimate claim.
  4. What if my injury was caused by a third-party, not my employer?
    You may have both a workers’ compensation claim and a personal injury case against the third-party  you should speak to a lawyer.
  5. Can I choose my own doctor?
    The employer’s insurance carrier may direct medical treatment under workers’ comp; however, you may be entitled to an independent medical exam or change of doctor under certain circumstances.
  6. How much does it cost to hire your firm?
    At Ted Law Firm, you pay nothing unless we win — no upfront fees and no obligation until we recover for you.
