Today I want to talk about one of my practice areas that is a very satisfying part of my work, Workers’ Compensation. For more years than I care to count, I have worked almost exclusively for injured workers here in South Carolina. Worker’s Compensation is not as easy a process as one would think and is composed of three benefits:
1. A weekly check for each week an injured worker is off work (2/3 of your average weekly wage, subject to a $784.03 cap for 2016).
2. Medicals benefits with no copays or deductibles including prescription service, mileage back and forth to the providers, etc.
3. Permanent disability in whole or in part. I normally charge a percentage fee from this benefit and have helped thousands of injured workers over these years.
I rank as one of the most experienced Workers’ Compensation lawyers in the state (which means I’m an older guy – LOL!) Please let me know if you or someone you know has been hurt on the job, and we will schedule a free consultation!
