Workplace Injuries

Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, South Carolina

At the Dick James Law Firm in Greenville, South Carolina, we have attorneys whose primary focus is on working with clients who have suffered from workplace injuries. When you get hurt on-the-job, you find yourself questioning how you are going to make ends meet and keep up with daily tasks that have become increasingly difficult due to your injury. You wonder how you are going to make a living and take care of your family. Your life is turned upside down and becomes extremely difficult and stressful. The last thing you need to worry about is if you will have to fight for the benefits you are legally entitled to.

Employer Responsibility

Workplace injuries usually fall into two basic categories. These include injuries that stem from a specific accident or incident and occupational diseases that are the result of exposure to harmful substances over a long period of time or long term stress and strain on the body.

In either case, your employer is responsible for any related expenses that arise, as well as for the income you lose during your recovery from the injury. The benefits you receive depend on the nature, severity and duration of your injury. Most cases result in temporary disability benefits, but the most serious cases often lead to settlements for permanent disability or disfigurement. If a death resulted, the deceased person's family is entitled to receive death benefits from the employer.

Types of Workplace Injuries

The types of workplace injuries that employees may suffer range in severity from moderate to deadly and all should be properly addressed by an experienced attorney who knows how to get you the benefits you are entitled to. Typical workplace injuries include:

• Head Injury/Brain Damage
• Vision Loss
• Back and Neck Injury
