Working at a construction site in one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. Every years thousands of workers are injured or killed due to construction site accidents. In South Carolina employers with four (4) or more employees are required to carry Workers’ Compensation coverage. Many job sites require Workers’ Compensation coverage no matter how few employees the employer has. It is important to seek the assistance of an experienced attorney immediately if you are injured on the job. Workers’ Compensation provides certain benefits as weekly wage compensation, medical treatment, partial disability compensation, permanent impairment compensation, to name a few. However, the benefits under Workers’ Compensation may not be sufficient to compensate an injured employee. There may be additional coverages available. For instance, if the injury was caused by another contractor’s negligence or by a defective piece of equipment or machinery,. The injured worker may have a liability claim that can be pursued. It is therefore very important that any evidence be preserved.
