If you have been injured on the job, you are entitled to compensation for medical expenses and lost wages, and perhaps permanent disability benefits if you have experienced a loss of function of a body part. Additionally, if you are totally unable to work, we can also help you obtain social security disability benefits.
Despite the fact that South Carolina law requires that you be provided with these benefits, filing a claim for workers' compensation benefits can be a frustrating experience. Many people who have valid injury claims do not receive the benefits they deserve because lawyers for the employer will likely claim one of the following: the injury did not happen on the job, the injury was not work-related, the injury was a pre-existing condition, or the employee did not give notice of the injury.
Hodge Law Firm has succeeded in overcoming these arguments for thousands of injured workers and thereby ensured they recieved the compensation due for their work injury.
Our workers compensation lawyers offer a free initial consultation to discuss your workers compensation case and handle nearly all workers compensation cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you pay nothing up front for our legal services. If we represent you on a contingency basis and are successful, our fee will be a percentage of the settlement or award we obtain for you; if we are not successful, you will owe us no attorney fees.
