Workers’ Comp Claims in Lexington

What to Know About Filing in Midlands

South Carolina requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which covers job-related injuries. In Lexington, this includes employees in construction, retail, schools, healthcare, and more. After notifying your employer of the injury within 90 days, you should be referred to a designated medical provider. You may receive coverage for treatment, lost wages, and long-term disability. If your claim is delayed, denied, or questioned, you can request a hearing through the SC Workers’ Compensation Commission—and that’s where we come in.

Lexington Workers’ Comp FAQ

What Injured Lexington Workers Should Know

  • I got hurt at a job site near Red Bank—what should I do?

    First, notify your employer as soon as possible, preferably in writing. Then request to see a doctor approved by their insurance company. Be sure to document the injury, your symptoms, and any work you miss. These steps will help protect your claim and ensure you’re treated fairly under South Carolina law.

  • Can I get workers’ comp if I work at Lexington Medical Center?

    Yes. Employees at Lexington Medical Center, urgent care clinics, or rehab facilities are all covered under South Carolina’s workers’ compensation system. Whether your injury was caused by patient lifting, a fall, or an equipment-related issue, you may be entitled to medical benefits and wage support. We help medical professionals every day.

  • What if I’ve already been denied once?

    If your claim has been denied, you still have the right to challenge it through a hearing with the SC Workers’ Compensation Commission. Denials happen for many reasons, and many are overturned with proper documentation and advocacy. We can help you build your appeal and present a strong case for the benefits you’re owed.

  • Is Eller Frye Law close enough to help?

    Definitely. While we’re based in Greenville, we represent clients across Lexington County and the greater Midlands area. Most of the process can be handled remotely or by phone, and we’ll make sure everything is smooth, clear, and convenient for you. If a hearing is needed, we’ll help prepare you for that too.

  • What kinds of benefits can I receive through a workers’ comp claim in Lexington?

    Benefits may include medical coverage, partial wage replacement, and compensation for any long-term limitations caused by your injury. If you’re unable to return to the same type of work, vocational rehab services may also be available. Our job is to make sure you understand every benefit you qualify for—and how to get it.
