Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about workers’ compensation

The South Carolina Workers’ Compensation system has many different deadlines and benefits that may not be clear to the average person. The attorneys at Williams & Roche can help you understand all of your rights under the law.

You may still have a case! What constitutes a workers’ compensation case depends on many factors, some more obvious than others. To understand the nuances of the workers’ compensation system, contact us for a consultation.

When a doctor writes you completely out of work, or if you are written out of work on light duty status, and there is no work available for you, you may be entitled to weekly benefits under the Workers’ Compensation Act. The amount would be 66.667% of what you typically earn in gross wages in a week. If you are concerned about your pay while you are out of work, contact Williams & Roche.

The South Carolina Workers’ Compensation system is a “no fault” system. In most cases, as long as you were doing your job, it doesn’t matter if the accident was your fault or not. Contact Williams & Roche for legal guidance after any accident.

Having a pre-existing medical issue, or having had a prior work injury, does not necessarily preclude you from having a new work injury, especially if the accident aggravated your underlying issue. The attorneys at Williams & Roche can help you to assess whether you would have a compensable claim under South Carolina law. Contact us for a free consultation.

An employer may not fire you in retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim. The employer does not, however, have to hold your job open if you are injured at work. Contact us if you think you have been wrongly terminated because of your injury or for filing a workers’ compensation claim.

Generally, in South Carolina, your employer and its insurance carrier is entitled to choose your medical provider. There can be exceptions to this, however. If you have concerns about your medical treatment, contact Williams & Roche.
