Understanding Workers’ Compensation Laws

In Columbia, South Carolina, employees have 90 days to report any work-related injuries or illnesses to their superior. From the date of the incident, the worker has two years to file an official workers’ compensation claim to request benefits. However, filing a claim can be more complicated than it seems.

Working with an experienced workers comp’ attorney can help ensure you follow the claims process correctly. Our attorneys can help file by the deadline and investigate the circumstances of your work injury to help strengthen your claim with supporting evidence. And, if your claim is wrongfully denied or underpaid, we can help you through each step of the appeals process.
