What Does Workers’ Comp Cover?

According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 3 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses occurred in the U. S. private sector in 2012. The overwhelming majority of these were injuries. Workplace illnesses accounted for only 5.2 percent of the total. The figures indicate the high level of workplace injuries taking place annually. To compensate workers and free employers from court actions filed against them by injured employees, all states have written workers’ compensation laws.

Under South Carolina’s Workers’ Compensation Act, medical benefits and monetary compensation are supplied to those who are injured in the course of their work duties. The Act is designed to protect employees and their families from financial hardship in the face of an injury which prevents the worker from continued employment or in the face of a work-related death. Occupational diseases are also covered which are defined as diseases which are due to causes and conditions peculiar to a trade, occupation, or form of employment.

Medical treatment, mileage to and from your doctor, weekly benefit checks compensating you for a percentage of your total wages, as well as lump payments for permanent disability once your medical treatment has been concluded compose the main benefits available under South Carolina’s workers’ compensation system. If you are facing problems obtaining the benefits you believe you are owed in Hollywood, you need the services of an experienced attorney who can pursue your case thoroughly and aggressively throughout all the procedures available under the law.
