If you suffer a neck, back, or spine injury as a result of a workplace accident, you may be able to file a workers’ compensation claim.
Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that provides financial benefits to injured workers. In South Carolina, almost all employers with 4 or more employees (full or part-time) are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance.
What’s more, most neck, back, and spine injuries are covered regardless of how the injury happens. In other words, unlike personal injury lawsuits, there’s no need to prove that someone was at fault.
Facing factsAccording to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, 136,190 people missed more than 1 day at work as a result of a back injury in 2019.
