Experienced North Charleston Workers' Compensation Attorney
If you were injured at work, receiving compensation and getting the medical treatment you need are probably two of several things you are concerned about. Many people who file a workers' compensation claim are worried about losing their job, returning to work or having to find a way to make ends meet financially while they are injured. At my firm - the Law Office of Jack W. Swan, LLC - I have over 30 years of experience representing clients throughout the tri-county area in workers' compensation. Contact me online or call 843-737-6314 to schedule your free initial consultation.
Filing a Workers' Compensation Claim
In South Carolina, most of the work that must be completed to file a workers' compensation claim is derived straight from the intake sheet that is filled out at the initial consultation. When a client walks out after our first meeting, his/her case is immediately filed, either as a Notice of Claim or as a Request for Hearing.
When clients contact me, I make sure I understand every aspect of their case. During our initial meeting, I ask questions regarding:
- Where were you injured?
- What was your injury?
- Any witnesses?
- Are you out of work? Receiving compensation?
- Are you getting medical treatment? Authorized treatment or on your own?
- What actions has your employer taken? (supporting the claim, laid you off)
Understanding this information gives me the knowledge I need to prepare a strong case to help you receive your benefits.
Receiving the Treatment You Need
Some clients who contact me express concerns that hiring an attorney will cause problems with their employer. I tell them that if their employer is already causing them problems, I can be the solution. When you file a workers' compensation claim, you are not suing your employer; you are simply getting the benefits you are absolutely entitled to under the law.
I will stand with you and make sure your rights are protected. With over 30 years of experience representing clients in workers' compensation cases, I can assure that when you appear before a commissioner we will both be prepared.
If you suffered an on the job injury, an experienced lawyer can help you get the benefits you deserve when you need them. I have experience getting my clients the resources they need to make ends meet and receive good medical treatment. Contact me online or call 843-737-6314 to schedule your free initial consultation.
