Worker's Compensation

Workers in South Carolina may not sue their employer after a work-related personal injury . The exclusive remedy due to an accident at work is through Worker's Compensation. All employers are required by law to provide a safe workplace environment - failure to do so obliges the employer and its insurance carrier to provide short or long-term benefits depending on the severity of the injury or illness.

The Worker's Compensation attorneys at Lumpkin, Oxner & Stacy spent several years working on behalf of injured workers. They maintain strong relationships with the insurance carriers and adjusters to negotiate for temporary benefits during a dispute and can also ensure that the client's medical care is expertly managed from the beginning. The insurance companies have lawyers & adjusters whose only job it is to minimize their financial exposure, regardless of the very real injuries suffered. Lumpkin, Oxner & Stacy have a wide network of doctors and healthcare professionals who will perform their own evaluations to ensure that a client receives the maximum benefits for their injuries.
