Getting injured at work can leave you overwhelmed physically, financially, and emotionally. Whether you were hurt at a construction site in Knightsville, a warehouse in Ladson, or a local business in Downtown Summerville, South Carolina law may entitle you to workers’ compensation benefits.
At Ted Law Firm, we help injured workers across Summerville, Dorchester County, Berkeley County, and surrounding areas file claims, appeal denials, and pursue the full benefits they need to recover.
What Does Workers’ Compensation Cover?
If your injury is work-related, you may qualify for:
- Medical care: Doctor visits, surgeries, rehab, and prescriptions
- Wage replacement: Partial income while you’re out of work
- Disability benefits: For permanent impairments or long-term limitations
- Mileage reimbursement: Travel costs for medical appointments
- Death benefits: For families of workers killed on the job
You don’t have to prove your employer was at fault. You just need to show the injury occurred on the job.
Common Work Injuries We Handle
No matter your job or industry, work-related injuries can happen suddenly or develop over time.
We represent clients with:
- Back, neck, and spinal injuries
- Repetitive motion injuries (carpal tunnel, tendonitis)
- Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or slippery surfaces
- Burns, electrocution, or chemical exposure
- Equipment accidents or crush injuries
- Head trauma and concussions
- Fatal workplace injuries (wrongful death claims)
We help workers across every industry from construction to healthcare to logistics get the care and compensation they deserve.
What If Your Claim Is Denied?
Workers’ comp claims are denied more often than you might think. Common reasons include:
- Late reporting or missed deadlines
- Disputes over whether the injury was job-related
- Employer or insurer says your injury is pre-existing
- They claim you’re ready to return to work too soon
We help clients file appeals and represent them before the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission. Don’t let a denial stop you from getting benefits.
Can You Sue for a Work Injury?
In most cases, workers’ compensation is your only remedy against your employer. But if a third party like a subcontractor, driver, or equipment manufacturer—caused or contributed to your injury, you may be able to file a separate personal injury claim for additional compensation.
We evaluate every case to make sure you don’t leave money on the table.
