The Law and South Carolina Worker Compensation

To qualify for workers' compensation, you do not have to prove that the workplace accident was not your fault. In fact, fault does not matter at all, as long as the accident happened on the job. There are some exceptions, such as if you were intoxicated or not following safety precautions, but for the most part, workers' compensation benefits are far-reaching.

Just a few ailments covered by South Carolina workers' compensation law are:

• Injuries from accidents with work machinery
• Back injuries from lifting things on the job
• Injuries from falls at work
• Carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other repetitive motion injuries
• Emotional problems resulting from work-related stress

Workers' compensation insurance should pay for all of your medical bills. But you may have to go to a doctor chosen by your employer or insurance company. To learn more about the specifics of workers' compensation, see our Workers' Compensation Information Center.
