Everyone is entitled to a safe work environment. Unfortunately accident do happen in the workplace. If you've suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you are entitled to under the workers' compensation laws of this state. In the State of South Carolina, an employer is required to carry workers’ compensation insurance coverage if he/she has four or more full time employees. He or she should file a workers’ compensation claim with their Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier on your behalf.

Employers don’t like to file claim because it may result in higher premiums. Insurance companies don’t like to pay out on claims because it effects their bottom line, their profit. Sometimes an employer or insurer will make it difficult for an injured employee by claiming the employee did not sustain the injury at work, or that the personal injury you’ve suffered doesn’t qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If you have been injured on the job and have been denied Workers’ Compensation benefits and you live in the Myrtle Beach, Conway, Surfside Beach, Horry County, or Georgetown, South Carolina areas, please call the law firm of Robert J. Johnston. Robert J. Johnston is an experienced Workers’ Compensation attorney who can inform you as to the benefits you are entitled to and what your rights are.
