Getting hurt on the job doesn’t just shake you up physically; it can also throw your finances and your entire future into question. South Carolina’s Workers’ Compensation system provides benefits for workplace injuries, but it often doesn’t cover everything—and it doesn’t hold everyone who may have played a role in your injury accountable. When third parties are involved in causing your injury, there are paths to justice that go beyond the Workers’ Comp system. That’s where I come in.
I focus on identifying and pursuing these third-party claims. While I don’t handle Workers’ Comp claims myself, I work closely with trusted workers’ compensation attorneys who can handle that side of your claim. Meanwhile, I quarterback the whole case, looking for any outside parties that might share responsibility for what happened to you. This might be a subcontractor who was careless, a manufacturer who supplied defective equipment, or a property owner who failed to keep a safe environment.
Hold More Than Your Employer Accountable
If there’s a responsible party beyond your employer, I’m here to hold them accountable. Third-party claims can provide significant additional financial compensation to help cover your medical bills, your lost wages, and the long-term effects of your injury—compensation that often goes beyond what workers’ comp alone can offer. That means digging into every detail of your case: reviewing contracts, scrutinizing safety protocols, consulting with industry experts, and piecing together exactly how each party’s actions contributed to your injury.
South Carolina’s Workers’ Compensation system can limit your options for suing an employer, but it doesn’t protect outside parties who put your safety at risk. By identifying and holding these third parties accountable, we can seek the full range of compensation you’re entitled to. My goal is simple: to assemble the right legal team to ensure you’re not left short-changed or left in the dark about all available sources of support.
When you’ve suffered a workplace injury, you deserve a law firm that’s looking out for all of your interests—not just the Workers’ Comp benefits. Let me quarterback your case, making sure every option for compensation is on the table, so you can focus on your recovery and getting back to your life.
