Common On the Job Injuries
Workplace injuries are of different types and can range in severity. The most common ones include but not limited to muscle sprain, strain, cuts and lacerations, traumatic brain injury, shoulder injury, contusions and repetitive stress injuries. Similarly, a number of factors can contribute to these injuries, with the most common ones including the following:

• Overexertion
• Slip and fall accidents
• Repetitive trauma
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Falling off a ladder
• Being struck by a heavy or falling object

Like most states, South Carolina offers financial protection to workers who get accidentally injured or killed while on the job. This system is better known as workers’ compensation. Under workers’ compensation, an injured employee can recover medical expenses, disability benefits and lost earnings.

However, the compensation amount may vary, depending on the severity of the injury, how the accident occurred and how the case is represented and fought. Having a profound understanding of the law is crucial, as navigating the SC Workers’ Compensation Act is complicated. What further complicates this is that insurance adjusters often provide a low-ball settlement offer to the victims. This is where we come into the picture.
