How Wilder Pantazis Law Group can help maximize your South Carolina workers’ compensation claim
At Wilder Pantazis Law Group, we understand that navigating the South Carolina workers’ compensation process can be overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with the physical and emotional toll of a workplace injury. Our experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that your rights are protected and you receive the benefits you deserve.
Here are just some of the ways we can support you at every stage of your workers’ compensation case:
- Gathering evidence to support your claim. This includes compiling medical records, accident reports, and witness statements to build a strong case.
- Accurately calculating benefits. We ensure your compensation accounts for both past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and any other benefits you’re entitled to under South Carolina law.
- Filing all required forms. We handle all filings with the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission to keep your claim moving forward without delays.
- Communicating with insurers. We handle direct communication with the insurance company and the adjuster assigned to your case to ensure timely responses and resolutions.
- Consulting with experts. When necessary, we also work with medical and vocational experts to provide detailed evaluations that strengthen your claim.
- Obtaining medical treatment authorizations. We assist in securing approvals for necessary medical care so you can focus on healing.
- Filing travel reimbursement requests. We manage reimbursements for your medical-related travel expenses.
- Discussing your treatment plan. We can collaborate with your doctor to ensure you’re receiving appropriate care and explore additional treatment options if needed.
- Recommending second opinions. If needed, we can refer you to trusted physicians for additional evaluations.
- Negotiating settlements. We work to maximize your compensation by negotiating with insurers on your behalf.
- Representing you in hearings or trials. If necessary, we will advocate for you before the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission.
Beyond managing your workers’ compensation claim, we also provide guidance on how other benefits and programs may impact your case, including Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security Disability, short-term disability, long-term disability, health insurance, and potential third-party claims.
We don’t get paid unless you do
We understand the financial strain that comes with being off work while recovering from a workplace injury. That’s why we handle all workers’ compensation cases on a contingency fee basis.
This means there are no upfront costs to hire our attorneys, and you won’t pay anything out of pocket for your legal representation.
Your initial consultation is always free, so you can get the answers you need without any financial pressure. Instead of upfront fees, our attorney’s payment is a percentage of your settlement or award. In South Carolina, the law generally caps this fee at no more than 33% of your recovery.
It’s important to note that workers who hire attorneys typically receive substantially higher settlements or awards than those who try to handle their claims alone. This increase in compensation usually far exceeds the cost of legal fees, ensuring you have the resources you need to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs associated with your injury.
