Workers’ compensation is often the exclusive remedy for a person who sustains a work-related injury to be compensated for their medical expenses, lost wages and permanent injuries they sustain as a result. Under most circumstances, a person injured on the job is prohibited from suing their employer from negligence. Salley Law Firm's workers' compensation lawyers in Lexington, SC can help with your case.
workers' compensation
Given that workers' compensation is likely the only way for a person on the job to be compensated, here are some important things to understand and do:
  • Once a work injury occurs, report your work injury immediately.
  • Report the injury immediately to a manager, supervisor or administrator, preferably in writing. 
  • Report all injuries or pain that you are feeling, even if it seems minor.
  • Do not refuse treatment and Follow the doctor's instructions.
  • You have two years from the date of injury to file a claim for benefits, if it was properly reported. 
  • Your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier initially chooses what doctors you see. 
  • If you see a doctor on your own, it may not be covered.
  • If the doctor releases you back to work or puts you on light duty, do not refuse to return to work.
Workers’ compensation is designed to provide certain benefits to workers who are injured on the job without them having to prove fault of the employer. A person, who suffers a work-related injury, may be entitled to:
  • Two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to the set maximum, for the period of time you are out of work
  • Wages to supplement your average weekly wage if you are unable to earn your normal amount
  • Medical treatment
  • Prescription medications
  • Reimbursement for mileage traveled to and from medical appointments
  • Compensation for permanent injuries
  • Lifetime medical care and treatment in certain cases
