If a workplace injury permanently prevents you from returning to your pre-injury job, South Carolina workers’ compensation may entitle you to vocational rehabilitation services. This can include job skills assessment, career counseling, job placement assistance, and retraining for a new occupation. The goal is to return you to suitable employment at a wage as close as possible to your pre-injury earnings. Your employer’s insurance carrier typically has significant control over the vocational rehab process, which is why having an attorney advocate for your interests, including the type and scope of retraining offered, is valuable.
