What qualifies as a “work-related” injury?
In South Carolina, any injury you suffered while on duty is eligible for Workers’ Compensation if it required medical treatment and prevents you from returning to your job (short term, long term, or permanently): • A fall, eye injury, laceration, burn, ladder accident, or other mishap • A back injury, hernia, heart attack, or other injury caused by exertion • An auto accident on duty (your own car or a company vehicle) • Occupational disease: workplace exposure to toxins or cumulative injury from normal tasks (such as tendonitis from repetitive movements) Our lawyers are familiar with all types of work injuries and the appropriate compensation.
