South Carolina Workers' Compensation
Lexington Injury Law Attorney
Many times people are reluctant to apply for Workers' Compensation benefits after they have been injured at work out of fear that they will lose their job. In South Carolina it is against the law for an employer to fire you for reporting an accident or for making a claim for Workers' Compensation benefits. If an employer violates this law they can be responsible for lost wages and other penalties.
If you are seriously injured at work you should not delay seeking medical treatments. Real injuries are taken seriously, and claim reporting is not thought of as being frivolous. By reporting your injury you can ensure that not only do you receive the benefits you are entitled to but also that any necessary safety precautions or training can be implemented to help avoid the next accident.
