Question:

Why do I need an attorney after being injured at work in South Carolina?

Answer:

For people who have been injured on the job, one thing they don’t think about is their employer is actually trained in how to deal with claims and not always in a way that helps you the most. Very often their thoughts are they want to minimize these claims, so they’re trained, and the injured employee is not. Sometimes that’s a reason to get an attorney and get legal counsel.

A second reason is, at some point, an insurance adjuster is going to get involved in that claim, and those adjusters are trained to know how to reduce the costs. What that means is limiting your rights as much as they can. You need medical care, and you’re entitled to good medical care. If they’re not providing that, you need to see an attorney.
