A workplace injury can leave you overwhelmed physically, financially, and emotionally. Whether you were hurt on a construction site, in a warehouse, or at a local business in Orangeburg, you may be entitled to benefits under South Carolina’s workers’ compensation system.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured workers in Orangeburg, Brookdale, Cordova, and throughout Orangeburg County file claims, fight denials, and recover the compensation they’re owed. You work hard when you’re hurt, we work hard for you.
What Does Workers’ Compensation Cover?
If your injury or illness happened on the job, workers’ compensation may pay for:
- Medical treatment (hospital visits, surgery, rehab)
- Lost wages through Temporary Total Disability (TTD)
- Compensation for permanent disabilities
- Mileage reimbursement for medical appointments
- Death benefits for families who’ve lost a loved one
You don’t have to prove fault only that your injury was work-related.
Common Workplace Injuries We Handle
From manufacturing and construction to healthcare and hospitality, job-related injuries happen across all industries in Orangeburg.
We help injured workers with:
- Back, neck, and shoulder injuries
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Repetitive motion injuries (carpal tunnel, tendonitis)
- Burns and chemical exposure
- Crush injuries or amputations
- Head trauma or traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death claims)
We coordinate with your doctors and handle the paperwork, so you can focus on getting better.
What If Your Claim Is Denied?
Workers’ comp insurers often deny valid claims. Common reasons include:
- You missed the reporting deadline
- They say your injury wasn’t work-related
- You had a pre-existing condition
- They say you’re able to return to work too soon
We represent clients through the appeals process, including hearings before the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission. We fight to protect your benefits from the start.
Can You Sue Your Employer?
In most cases, workers’ compensation prevents you from suing your employer. But if your injury was caused by a third party such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or driver you may be able to file a separate personal injury claim for additional compensation.
We evaluate every case for third-party liability, so no opportunity for recovery is overlooked.
