Charleston Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Even people in dangerous occupations, like construction, industrial, or maritime work, deserve a safe place to work. It’s the employer’s responsibility to make sure that it is safe and to provide workers’ compensation benefits to injured employees, so they’re covered medically if a workplace incident causes injury. A workplace injury or occupational illness can occur in any job, and the same requirements apply to white-collar employers as to all others. Our Charleston, SC workers’ compensation lawyer can help you get your claim approved and ensure you receive all benefits you’re entitled to. Call Woron and Dhillon, LLC today for a consultation.

Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Charleston, SC

When you’re injured on the job, there is a specific procedure you must follow to secure workers’ compensation benefits. You must report the injury to your employer within 90 days and visit an employer-approved doctor or urgent care facility. If you’re seriously injured enough to miss work, you must complete your follow-up obligations, such as attending all medical appointments and strictly following your treating physician’s instructions. Failing to meet your responsibilities under workers’ compensation regulations can result in your benefits being cut off or your claim being denied. In fact, this is one of the most common reasons insurance companies reject workers’ compensation claims.

We’ve seen many individuals who, even after doing everything correctly and suffering a legitimate work-related injury, still have their claims denied. Our Charleston workplace injury lawyer is here to make sure you’re treated fairly and receive the benefits you deserve. We can assist you with appealing a denied claim or reduced benefits.

There are other ways we can help, too. If your employer does not carry workers’ compensation insurance but is legally obligated to do so, your workplace injury becomes an entirely different issue. In these cases, and in cases where a third party is responsible for your accident, you can file a lawsuit for damages against your employer or the liable third party, seeking compensation for your medical bills and other losses. We can represent you in that matter and work to secure the maximum settlement possible, including compensation for pain and suffering (which is offered as a workers’ comp benefit).
