Getting hurt at work is stressful, and dealing with insurance companies only makes it harder. If you were injured on the job in North Augusta, Belvedere, or anywhere in Aiken County, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits under South Carolina law.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured workers file claims, appeal denials, and recover the full compensation they deserve. You work hard. When you’re injured, we work hard for you.
What Workers’ Compensation Covers
South Carolina workers’ comp laws provide protection when you get hurt while doing your job.
Workers’ comp benefits may include:
- Medical care (hospital visits, surgery, therapy, prescriptions)
- Wage replacement (Temporary Total Disability or TTD)
- Compensation for permanent disability or impairment
- Mileage reimbursement for medical appointments
- Death benefits for families who lost a loved one at work
You don’t have to prove that your employer did anything wrong you just need to show that your injury is job-related.
Common Workplace Injuries We Handle
Workplace injuries happen across all industries, from manufacturing plants near I-520 to construction sites downtown.
We represent injured workers suffering from:
- Back and neck injuries
- Shoulder and knee injuries
- Repetitive motion injuries (like carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Equipment accidents and crush injuries
- Electrical shock or burns
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Fatal workplace accidents (wrongful death claims)
No matter how your injury happened, if it’s related to your work, you likely qualify for benefits.
What If Your Workers’ Comp Claim Is Denied?
Sadly, many valid claims are denied by employers or insurance companies. They may claim:
- The injury didn’t happen at work
- You failed to report the injury on time
- You had a pre-existing condition
- You can return to work when you’re still recovering
Don’t give up. We fight denied claims through hearings at the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission, and we know how to present the evidence to protect your rights.
Can You File a Lawsuit Too?
Usually, you can’t sue your employer if workers’ comp benefits are available. But you may be able to file a third-party lawsuit if someone else (like a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner) caused or contributed to your injury.
We review every case for possible third-party claims that could provide additional compensation.
