Workers' Compensation

South Carolina's Workers' Compensation Act covers employees, ensuring that if on-the-job injury occurs, the worker's medical expenses and lost wages will be compensated. However, dealing with a work injury often requires an understanding of your legal rights in order to receive fair treatment and compensation. To ensure you receive temporary wage benefits and proper medical care, hiring a lawyer experienced in handling workers' compensation cases may become necessary. Insurance companies frequently delay or deny claims making workers' compensation cases complex. Meanwhile, mounting medical bills and financial stress can burden families who are no longer receiving income.

Legal Assistance

At the Law Office of Irby E. Walker, our lawyers can assist you in getting medical bills paid and wage benefits reinstated when an insurance company fails to meet their obligation. Prescriptions, doctor bills, medical supplies and equipment along with hospital expenses may all be eligible for recovery through workers' compensation. We will evaluate your claim and estimate future wage and medical benefits as well as determine whether you qualify to receive permanent disability compensation.

Because employers and insurance companies are often more concerned about their bottom lines and work hard to deny or delay claims, you need a competent lawyer to help protect your interests. Our law firm is skilled in dealing with insurance adjusters and company attorneys. We are prepared to handle stopped benefits, employer fraud, denied claims and any misunderstood aspects of your claim. Our goal is to see that you receive what you are entitled under South Carolina's Workers' Compensation Act and become able to return to work.
