Workplace Injury & Workers' Comp
South Carolina Workplace Accident LawyerWorkers' compensation laws are a mixed blessing. On the one hand they provide injured workers with compensation without the requirement that the worker establish fault. On the other hand, the compensation is limited. Because of recent changes in South Carolina's workers' compensation laws, benefits are much more limited than under previous law. With offices in Charleston and Summerville, the workplace accident lawyers at Query Sautter Gliserman & Price can help you understand workers' compensation laws and help you file your claim. When our attorneys agree to represent you, they focus on your needs and your best interest. They examine all the facts surrounding your accident and your injuries to determine if you may have additional sources of compensation available to you. In some cases, companies other than your employer are partially or fully responsible for your injuries. A separate claim can be brought against these parties, known in the legal world as "third party claims". Examples of Third-Party Workplace Accident ClaimsIf you are making a delivery for work and your car is struck by another car while making your delivery, it is possible the other driver's insurance can provide you with an additional source of compensation. If you are a machine worker in a paper mill, aluminum plant, or other industrial worker operating industrial equipment or factory machinery, and the equipment or machinery is defective, and that defect contributed to your injuries, then you may have a claim against the equipment or machine manufacturer. If you are working for a subcontractor on a construction project, and another subcontractor injures you, or the general contractor, developer, or property owner made the premises unsafe, and you are injured as a result, you may have a third party claim against the responsible party or parties.
