Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation covers limited medical expenses, treatment, and some lost wages for employees who suffer on-the-job injuries. These laws ensure that the worker has some recompense when hurt in a work environment and cannot continue to work due to an injury. The benefit for employers is that workers compensation is a no-fault policy. The employee is covered and the employer cannot be held liable.
Still, some employees decide their compensation is not sufficient and file lawsuits against their employers. McKay, Cauthen, Settana & Stubley, P.A. is your resource for workers compensation (sometimes known as workmen’s comp) in South Carolina.
