Understanding Workers’ Compensation in Charleston, SC
Under the SC Workers’ Compensation Act, most employees are covered by their employer’s insurance. It is designed to protect and prevent lawsuits against the employer. When injured on the job, you may be eligible for the following benefits:
- A portion of your wages while you recover, at two-thirds of your average weekly wage
- Coverage for all necessary medical treatments
- Temporary disability benefits until you can resume work
- Permanent disability benefits if you’re unable to return to your job
- Death benefits for your dependents if the worst should occur
- Filing for workers’ compensation requires adherence to specific procedures to maintain eligibility for these benefits.
Essential Steps to Protect Your Workers’ Compensation Claim
- Report Your Injury Immediately: Inform your supervisor as soon as possible, ideally in writing, to establish a documented record of your work-related injury or illness.
- Seek Authorized Medical Attention: To avoid jeopardizing your claim, following your employer’s protocol for medical treatment is crucial.
- Stay in Communication with Your Case Manager: It is vital for your claim’s success to keep your nurse case manager informed about your recovery progress.
