One of the most common questions injured workers ask is: “Can I be fired if I file a workers’ compensation claim?” Many employees are worried that seeking medical treatment and filing a claim will cost them their job. While it’s understandable to feel concerned, South Carolina law offers important protections.

Under South Carolina law, you cannot be fired simply because you filed a workers’ compensation claim. The law is clear that your right to benefits is protected if you were injured on the job. However, the reality is not always so simple. Unfortunately, some employers may try to fire injured workers under other pretexts, such as tardiness or performance issues, even when those same standards are not applied fairly to others.

Most employers follow the law and do the right thing, but if you find yourself in a situation where your employer does not, you still have rights. Two key things to know:

Even if you lose your job, you are still entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.

You may have an additional legal claim for wrongful termination or retaliatory discharge against your employer.

If you’ve been hurt at work and are worried about losing your job or being treated unfairly, Stewart Law Offices is here to help injured workers in South Carolina and North Carolina understand their rights and pursue fair treatment.
