Filing a Workers’ Comp Claim in Anderson
Local Help for Local Claims
South Carolina’s workers’ compensation system applies to nearly every job in Anderson—from plant floors and hospital wings to construction zones and school offices. After reporting your injury to your employer (within 90 days), you’ll likely be referred to a doctor chosen by their insurance provider. If your claim is accepted, you may receive coverage for medical treatment, partial wage replacement, and more. If your claim is denied—or your treatment doesn’t feel right—you have the right to challenge it through a formal hearing. Eller Frye Law is just down the road in Greenville, and we’re here to help Anderson workers every step of the way.
Anderson Workers’ Comp FAQ
What Injured Workers in Anderson Need to Know
I work at a factory near Highway 81—what should I do after getting hurt on the job?
First, let your supervisor or manager know about the injury as soon as possible. Whether you twisted your knee lifting equipment or got cut handling materials, it’s important to report it in writing and request an authorized medical provider. South Carolina law gives you 90 days to report it, but sooner is always better. Keep notes on your treatment, symptoms, and time missed from work.
Can I get workers’ comp if I was injured at a restaurant near downtown Anderson?
Yes. Restaurant workers, including servers, hosts, and kitchen staff, are often injured due to falls, burns, or lifting. If the injury occurred while doing your job, you’re likely eligible to file a workers’ compensation claim. We can help you understand your rights and handle communication with your employer’s insurance provider.
Do I have to drive to Columbia to handle my claim?
No. While the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission is based in Columbia, hearings for Anderson claims are often handled regionally. Most of your claim can be managed locally or remotely, especially with our firm located just 30 minutes away in Greenville. We’ll walk you through every step without you needing to travel far.
What kinds of jobs in Anderson are most likely to qualify for workers’ comp?
Many Anderson workers in manufacturing, healthcare, education, public service, and food service are regularly eligible. Employees at places like AnMed, Electrolux, Michelin, and local schools are all covered by South Carolina’s workers’ comp laws. If your job injury happened during a regular shift or while doing assigned duties, we can likely help.
My claim was denied—what can I do next?
You have the right to challenge a denied claim by requesting a hearing with the SC Workers’ Compensation Commission. We’ll help you gather documentation, medical records, and any supporting evidence. Whether you’re appealing because of delayed benefits, denied treatment, or lack of communication, we’ll guide your case toward resolution.
