Injured At Work? Our Law Firm Can Help

Benjamin R. Matthews and Associates, LLC: Trusted Workers Compensation Lawyers Serving Columbia, Darlington

If you were injured at work, Workers Compensation insurance can protect you. In South Carolina, injuries on the job are all too common-in the healthcare industry, on construction sites, in factories. Even so, many folks put up with the pain of workplace injuries without using Workers Compensation insurance to help pay medical bills. And some who do submit an application are denied coverage or have their benefits terminated early while they're still recovering.

Some of the most common workplace accidents & injuries in our area include:

• Healthcare worker accidents due to dangerous medical instruments and hospital equipment
• Construction accidents that require surgery and long-term physical therapy
• Repetitive stress injuries that need ongoing occupational therapy and ergonomic improvements to your workstation, office desk, office chair or computer
• Factory accidents caused by defective forklifts or exposure to toxic chemicals

If you were injured on the job or suspect your pain is from a work injury, call the workers compensation lawyers at Benjamin R. Matthews and Associates, LLC at (803) 799-1700. We understand how vital these benefits can be for injured workers, especially if your workplace injury results in a long-term disability.

Our Lawyers Can Help You Obtain Your Benefits

If you become disabled because of work accident injuries, a workers' compensation settlement can cover lost wages. If you lost a loved one due to a death on the job, this insurance helps families dealing with a wrongful death. Any injury at work or job fatality due to occupational health hazards or safety violations should be covered.

• Industrial Injuries
• Workers Compensation Appeals
• Third-Party Workplace Claims

Going after payments and dealing with insurance adjusters, doctors and your employer can be intimidating. When you're involved in a third-party work accident situation, in which someone other than your employer contributed to your work injury, the Workers Comp process can be even more complex. We can help you navigate your way through the system and aggressively pursue the benefits you deserve, including disputing denied claims and early termination of benefits.
