If your employer was legally required to carry workers’ compensation insurance and failed to do so, you still have options. South Carolina maintains the Uninsured Employers’ Fund, which provides a mechanism for workers injured by uninsured employers to obtain compensation. Additionally, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit directly against your uninsured employer, a right that workers covered by valid workers’ comp typically do not have. You should also file a complaint with the SC Workers’ Compensation Commission. Our Columbia attorneys can help you understand all available avenues for recovery.
