What benefits am I entitled to under South Carolina workers’ compensation?

By Sami

A successful South Carolina workers’ compensation claim can provide several benefits, including medical coverage for all necessary treatment without deductibles or co‑pays, temporary total disability payments equal to two‑thirds of your average weekly wage after a seven‑day waiting period, and temporary partial disability benefits covering two‑thirds of the difference between pre‑injury and post‑injury wages. Permanent partial disability compensates for lasting impairment to scheduled body parts, while permanent total disability may provide up to 500 weeks of wage replacement or lifetime benefits in catastrophic cases. Additional benefits include vocational rehabilitation and death benefits for dependents, all subject to state maximums and Commission approval.
