Workers' Compensation

Injured on the Job? Call Us For Help With Workers' Comp.

A work place accident can happen in a second and ruin a working career forever. If you've been injured in the workplace, get legal help with all of your workers' compensation needs.  You have the legal right to file a workers compensation claim to recover for your injuries, to obtain medical treatment, and to recover lost wages.

Attorney Nathan Hughey formerly worked for a law firm that was started by one of the attorneys responsible for helping establish our worker's compensation system in South Carolina.  Mr. Hughey uses that knowledge to prosecute your case for you.

The Hughey Law Firm is ready to help you recover money your family needs after an accident on the job. We offer a full range of legal services, including:

We Cut Through the Paperwork, So You Can Focus On Your Health

Workplace injury cases can quickly become confusing as you try to navigate the complex benefits process, multiple and overlapping liability insurance, the pursuit of damages from third parties and the determination of who is responsible for your medical expenses.

If you have been hurt during the course of your employment, contact us right away. We will work to ensure that you receive the full workers' compensation benefits you are entitled to, and can also handle civil litigation regarding your injuries, when allowed by law.

Common work injuries include:

  • Repetitive trauma and carpal tunnel injuries
  • Muscle injuries, bone injuries
  • Head and traumatic brain injuries
  • Psychological injuries
  • Back, neck and spinal cord injuries
  • Amputations, dismemberment injuries
  • Burns and disfigurement

Workers' Compensation and On-the-Job Injury Attorneys

We can evaluate your claim to determine your legal right to workers' compensation benefits. Many people who assume they are not eligible for benefits actually are, including many independent contractors.

If you have been injured at work, contact us for answers to your questions. If you decide to file a claim, we can file it and, if necessary, work to prove the extent of your injuries and prove that your injuries were caused or were worsened by conditions or an accident at work.

We also file federal Longshore and Harbor Workers' Act/Jones Act and admiralty claims for workers injured on the job at sea or other waterways throughout the region.

We can represent you for both workers' compensation claims and any third-party civil litigation against contractors, homeowners, commercial building owners, insurance companies and other parties liable for your on-the-job injury.
