What South Carolina workers’ comp settlement can I get if I can’t work anymore due to my injuries?

If your South Carolina work injury—or multiple injuries—are severe enough that your doctor or a vocational expert concludes you can’t work again, you may qualify for permanent and total disability benefits under workers’ comp. You can receive some major benefits:

• Free medical care for life. The workers’ comp insurance company pays as long as the treatment relates to your work injury. You still have to pay for any other conditions or illnesses that aren’t related to your injury.
• Disability compensation. In most cases, disabled workers receive two-thirds of their average weekly wages for up to 500 weeks. But if you’re paralyzed or sustained a brain injury, you may qualify for that income for the rest of your life- see more on that below.

Rest assured the insurance company will fight you tooth and nail, and you can’t afford to lose this battle.

Two More Things You Should Know About These Benefits

1. Being disabled under workers’ comp doesn’t mean you’re helpless. In fact, if you return to work, you keep the benefits. This encourages the severely injured to be as productive as possible.
2. If you suffer total disability from a brain injury or paralysis, you might qualify for the maximum benefits under the law.

Protect Yourself Because Too Much Is at Stake

If your work injury case potentially involves total disability, your medical and financial futures are on the line. You likely need these benefits to prevent you and your family from falling into financial ruin as you waste away under untreated, disabling injuries. And you can rest assured the workers’ comp insurance company will fight you tooth and nail to save its precious dollars from your desperate need.
