Maximum Recovery: 888-499-5738 Call Now

NO FEE UNLESS WE WIN - GUARANTEED

Third-party workplace injury cases are complex, requiring investigation of multiple parties and expert testimony. We advance ALL costs and only get paid when you do.

⚠️ WORKERS' COMP LIMITS YOUR RECOVERY

Workers' compensation only covers medical bills and partial wages - no pain and suffering, no full income replacement, no compensation for permanent disability. It's designed to protect employers, not maximize your recovery.

When third parties cause your workplace injury, you can sue for full damages beyond workers' comp limits.

Workplace Injury FAQs

Can I sue someone besides my employer for a workplace injury? +
Yes - and you should explore all options. While workers' comp prevents suing your employer, you can sue third parties: equipment manufacturers, contractors, property owners, vehicle drivers. These lawsuits provide full compensation including pain and suffering that workers' comp doesn't cover.
Will filing a lawsuit affect my workers' comp benefits? +
No - third-party lawsuits are separate from workers' comp. You continue receiving medical treatment and wage benefits while we pursue additional compensation from negligent third parties. We coordinate both claims to maximize your total recovery.
How much more can I recover beyond workers' comp? +
Often 5-10 times more. Workers' comp only covers 2/3 of wages and medical bills. Third-party claims provide full wage replacement, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and future damages. Every case is different, but the additional recovery is typically substantial.
How long do I have to file a third-party lawsuit? +
Generally 3 years in South Carolina, but don't wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and complex investigations take time. The sooner you call, the stronger your case will be. Some cases have shorter deadlines depending on the type of claim.

⏰ DON'T SETTLE FOR WORKERS' COMP ALONE

Insurance companies and employers want you to accept limited workers' comp benefits. They hope you won't discover third parties who should pay full damages for your injuries.
