Back and Neck Workplace Injury Lawyers in South Carolina

Standeffer & Harbin, LLP, Is a Workers' Compensation Law Firm in Anderson

Back and neck injuries often turn into fiercely fought workers' compensation cases. It's easy for the workers' compensation company to find a doctor who will dispute the extent of the back injury or the cause. If you are told to go back to work with no, or limited, work restrictions or if your workers' compensation benefits are suspended or terminated after a back or neck injury, you should seek legal help as soon as possible. Protect your legal rights — call 1-800-INJURED to consult with the experienced personal injury lawyers at Standeffer & Harbin, LLP.

Under South Carolina workers' compensation law, you must report workplace injuries, including progressive injuries or repetetive stress injuries, to your employer within 90 days of the injury or show a good reason for not making the report within that time period.

What does this mean for back and neck injuries that occur on the job? Be especially careful if you begin to develop back pain or neck pain and you think it could be related to the work you do. Get independent medical help as early as possible, and inform your doctor if the pain becomes worse.
