WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

The South Carolina Workers' Compensation Act is a state-regulated insurance program that helps workers who are injured on the job or suffer diseases related to their occupation. A workers' compensation claim is different from a general personal injury claim. First, to recover on a workers' compensation claim, the employee only needs to show that the injury was work related, not that the employer was negligent in any way.

Silicosis is an occupational disease caused by inhaling silica dust. It usually affects sandblasters, rock cutters and miners. Workers suffering from silicosis or other lung injuries may also be able to pursue a separate products liability claim for their injuries. People injured while on the job enjoy certain rights under the "workers' comp" laws in South Carolina. They are entitled to full payment of medical bills, compensation for lost wages, and awards for permanent disability.
