No Fault Benefits

Lexington Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Not all workplace accidents are the result of an employer's negligence, product malfunction or some other third party. Sometimes accidents happen - and if you are the one to blame for your injury this does not mean that you don't deserve help. The Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, located in Lexington, South Carolina, represents clients in Workers' Compensation claims regardless of fault for the injury.

South Carolina's Workers' Compensation law is considered a no-fault system. This means that regardless of whose fault the accident was you are still entitled to the same amount of benefits. All that is required is that your injury came about as a result of your employment.

There are many examples of injuries that would otherwise legally not be the employer's fault, but are still eligible for Workers' Compensation benefits. Examples would include injuries caused by not following safety rules, careless operating equipment, tripping over your own work supplies, or accidents caused by other employees or customers.
