Workers’ Comp Claims in Greenwood

Your Rights as a South Carolina Worker

South Carolina law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance that covers on-the-job injuries. If you were hurt while working in Greenwood—whether from a single accident or a repetitive strain—your employer should report it to their insurer and send you to an approved medical provider. You may qualify for medical treatment, lost wages, and compensation for long-term injury. If your claim is denied or delayed, you can request a hearing through the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission. Eller Frye Law is here to help you navigate every step.

Greenwood Workers’ Comp FAQ

Local Answers for Local Workers

  • I was hurt at a manufacturing job in Greenwood—what should I do first?

    The first step is to report the injury to your supervisor right away—preferably in writing. Whether it happened at a plant on Highway 25 or inside a warehouse near the industrial park, documenting your injury early is crucial. Then ask for medical care through an employer-authorized provider. Keeping track of your treatment and any missed work can help protect your case.

  • Can I get workers’ comp if I work part-time at a restaurant near Uptown Greenwood?

    Yes. You don’t have to be full-time to qualify for workers’ compensation in South Carolina. If you were injured while on the clock—whether it was a slip in the kitchen, a lifting strain, or a fall while serving—you may be entitled to benefits. We’ll help you figure out what your case might include.

  • Is there a local office I need to go to for my hearing?

    Hearings are typically assigned regionally by the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission, and many parts of the process can be handled remotely. If an in-person hearing is required, we’ll help coordinate everything and make sure you’re prepared. You won’t be going through it alone—we’ve got your back.

  • What kinds of jobs in Greenwood most commonly file workers’ comp claims?

    Employees in manufacturing, healthcare, retail, food service, and public roles are among the most frequent claimants. Jobs at places like Self Regional, local schools, and area plants all involve injury risks. If your job led to physical or psychological harm, you likely qualify to file a claim.

  • What if my employer says it’s “not that serious”?

    Even minor injuries can lead to bigger problems over time—and you have the right to medical evaluation and support. Don’t let someone else downplay what you’re experiencing. If your employer won’t take your injury seriously, give us a call—we’ll help you protect your rights and your recovery.
