Charleston Worker's Compensation Lawyers
Worker's compensation law in South Carolina is extremely complex. The statutes are constantly changing and it is often difficult to keep up with the current law. Our worker's compensation system is currently under attack by the state legislature and our governor. If you have been injured on the job, it is critical that you have strong representation from an experienced attorney who will guide you through this complex area of the law.
At the Wigger Law Firm, Inc., we offer our clients over 27 years of combined experience in the practice of law. We have extensive experience in all types of workplace injury cases, including falls, head and neck injuries, back injuries, carpal tunnel and third party liability claims. We are committed to helping injured workers get the benefits they need to make a full recovery.
Seeking the Best Possible Outcome in Your Case
Experience with worker's compensation cases is essential to the success of your claim. Many parts of the statute can be interpreted differently and you need an attorney who can MAKE the strongest possible argument on your behalf. Our attorneys have a complete understanding of the law and we know what it takes to reach a positive result.
We are ready to help you with every aspect of your case from the initial request for benefits through any necessary hearings and appeals. When there is a dispute over benefits, an administrative hearing is held. In those situations, we fully research your case, gather the evidence and prepare the brief for the hearing.
We also represent clients in wrongful termination cases. There are times when an employer will terminate a person who has filed for worker's compensation benefits either out of retaliation or fear of future claims. If you feel that you have been terminated unfairly, you can rely on us to do everything in our power to obtain the justice that the law allows.
