Workers’ Compensation

North Charleston Workers’ Compensation lawyer  can make sure you get the compensation and benefits you’re entitled to. A job injury can cause great stress and suffering. Often unable to work, victims of work place injuries typically face an onslaught of medical expenses piled on top of the usual bills, which you can no longer pay because you can’t work. And, unfortunately, the Workers’ Compensation insurance company isn’t on your side. If you’ve been injured at work or while performing job duties, you need Benefits You’re Entitled to for a Work Place Injury.

An Experienced Lawyer Helps Workers’ Compensation System Work for You

While the main objective of the Worker’s Compensation Act is to create and protect the rights of employees who get injured at work, the insurance companies who pay the benefits don’t work for the employees. They work for the employer, and their job is to keep insurance premiums low and company profits high. The only way insurance companies can do that is to keep benefit payouts to a minimum. One tactic for doing that is negotiating settlements with injured workers early on—before the worker fully understands how much medical care is required and how much his pain and suffering are really worth. Another tactic is to deny benefits altogether, claiming that the injury or treatment is not related to work.
