A work-related injury could be life-threatening or life-altering. Although the workers’ compensation system is intended to benefit both the employer and the injured employee, sometimes reaching compensation is a difficult process.

Chappell, Chappell and Newman have been practicing law in Greenville, SC for many years and have a reputation for excellence when it comes to workers’ compensation and wrongful death cases.
A work-related injury can happen in a variety of ways. It could be a split-second accident that changes someone’s life in an instant, or it could be caused by repetitive motion or strain that increases over time. Regardless of how your injury happened, it’s our job to ensure that you receive the appropriate benefits to cover your treatment and a portion of your salary until you can return to work.

Workers’ Compensation In Greenville, South Carolina
It’s important to seek help immediately after you’ve suffered an injury. Don’t wait to see if it hurts less tomorrow or give it a few days to heal.
If it’s an emergency, call 911. If not, visit a physician, emergency department, or urgent care facility for an immediate evaluation.
If you wait to report the injury, it will make it harder to prove that it happened at work.
Your injury could be the result of poor training (yours or someone else’s) or serious safety violations. It could also just… happen. Sometimes it’s no one’s fault and you fell, an item fell on you, you were in a vehicle accident, or machinery malfunctioned… the possibilities are endless. The great benefit to workers’ compensation is that it’s no-fault insurance.
You don’t need to prove anyone’s fault or negligence in order to receive benefits for a work-related injury.
You only need to prove that:
- The injury happened while you were at work or engaged in tasks related to your job; and
- The injury cost you money because it required medical treatment or required you to take time off from work for treatment or recovery.
After a serious work-related accident, it can be difficult to think about next steps. If you’re dealing with a serious injury, you may have pain, concerns about disability, lots of phone calls from insurance companies, multiple medical appointments to keep and worries about missing some paychecks.
