Yes, you may be entitled to compensation for any injury that you sustain at work. Sometimes, you may end up with a repetitive motion injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, from typing all day long. Some people develop illnesses or diseases from working conditions, and they can file for workers’ comp in that situation as well.
Note, however, that South Carolina workers’ comp law prohibits the coverage of stress, strokes, embolisms, heart attacks, aneurysms, and mental injuries when they are suffered due to general working conditions. An attorney can help you determine whether or not you may be able to file for a claim.
