Workplace injuries can happen anywhere from a construction site in North Myrtle Beach to a hotel on Ocean Boulevard. If you’ve been hurt on the job, workers’ compensation may be the only thing standing between you and financial stress.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured workers across Myrtle Beach, Conway, Surfside Beach, and throughout Horry County file for workers’ comp benefits, appeal denied claims, and pursue additional compensation when possible. You work hard now let us fight for what you’re owed.
What Workers’ Comp Covers in South Carolina
South Carolina law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If you’re injured at work, you may be entitled to:
- Medical treatment (hospital visits, surgery, medications, rehab)
- Wage replacement while you’re out recovering (Temporary Total Disability)
- Disability compensation for permanent injuries or limitations
- Mileage reimbursement for medical travel
- Death benefits for families of workers who die in workplace accidents
You don’t need to prove fault. You only need to show that your injury happened while you were doing your job.
Common Workplace Injuries We Handle
From hospitality and retail to construction and manufacturing, job injuries happen across every industry in Myrtle Beach.
We represent workers with:
- Back, shoulder, and neck injuries
- Repetitive motion injuries (like carpal tunnel)
- Slips, trips, and falls on the job
- Falls from heights (scaffolding, ladders)
- Equipment-related injuries
- Electrical injuries and burns
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Fatal workplace injuries (wrongful death claims)
If your job caused or worsened your condition, you likely qualify for benefits.
What If Your Workers’ Comp Claim Is Denied?
Many valid claims are denied for reasons like:
- Missing a deadline
- Incomplete paperwork
- Disputes over whether the injury was work-related
- Allegations that you were at fault or not following procedure
Don’t let the insurance company decide your future. We handle appeals, hearings before the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission, and every step of the process.
Can You File a Lawsuit Too?
Workers’ comp typically prevents you from suing your employer, but if someone else (a contractor, manufacturer, property owner) caused or contributed to the accident, you may be able to file a third-party personal injury claim for additional compensation.
We evaluate every case for potential third-party liability because workers’ comp alone may not be enough to cover your long-term needs.
