What are Workers’ Compensation Benefits in South Carolina?
Workers’ compensation benefits are financial benefits you may receive if you have been injured at work or in the process of doing your job (sometimes that may include times that you were or were not on company property). Employers have a responsibility to protect their employees from harm and accident as much as they can, and they are legally required to carry workers’ compensation insurance in order to cover themselves for the times when employees do become injured for one reason or another.
