Employing Justice: Your Injury, Your Rights
A workplace injury can disrupt your life in an instant leaving you in pain, out of work, and uncertain about the future. While workers' compensation exists to support injured employees, many find themselves facing unexpected denials, endless delays, or retaliation from their employers. Many injured workers also have claims against third-parties for their injuries that provide for recovery under civil negligence laws.
South Carolina law protects injured workers. If your employer or its insurer is standing in the way of your recovery, you need a lawyer who knows how to fight back. You shouldn't have to struggle for the benefits you've earned – we'll help you secure the protection and compensation you are entitled to under the law.
A workplace injury shouldn't mean delayed medical treatment and financial hardship but, all too often, employers and insurers make it a battle just to get what's rightfully yours. And often times injured workers don't realize they have claims against at-fault third-parties. If you have been injured on the job, SC Injury Law can help you:

South Carolina's injury statistics aren't just high - they're unacceptable. Tens of thousands of workplace injuries and unsafe driving incidents each year show a dangerous lack of oversight and responsibility. The staggering number of wrongful death occurrences is a wake-up call. At SC Injury Law, we don't cower or compromise client interests to lowball settlement offers by the insurance industry – we investigate, litigate, and hold the responsible parties accountable for the harm they cause.
Individuals represented by attorneys have a 91% chance of receiving a settlement, compared to a 51% success rate for those without legal representation.
Approximately 95% of personal injury cases are settled before reaching trial.
For the small percentage of cases that proceed to trial, plaintiffs represented by attorneys have a 60% success rate.
Clients with legal representation receive settlements that are nearly 3.5 times higher than those negotiated without an attorney.
It is a simple truth that the potential for litigation, and ultimately trial, is the primary force that drives settlement value and holds profit-motivated insurance companies accountable. This is an unavoidable reality not just accepted, but embraced, by SC Injury Law. We understand that while most clients would prefer to avoid litigation whenever favorable resolution can be negotiated (and the vast majority of cases settle), we are also prepared to go the distance should insurance companies attempt to unfairly exert their extensive resources in negotiations. It is through this reputation and dedication that SC Injury Law's approach helps to reduce the possibility of prolonged litigation without compromising the client's recovery.
