Compensation Claims for Work-Related Injuries Require Experienced Legal Representation

Myrtle Beach Injury Attorney

Workers in all industries face the risk of serious injury in work-related accidents. While systems are in place to take care of injured workers who have significant medical bills and are unable to work while they recover, they must often fight to get the compensation they deserve. At Wright Injury Law, we represent injured South Carolina workers in workers’ compensation claims and third-party liability claims when their injuries will prevent them from working for an extended period.

Don’t rely on your employer or your company’s workers’ comp insurer to approve your claim and provide the compensation you will need to recover from your injuries and compensate for your lost wages. Trust Myrtle Beach injury attorney Brooke Eaves Wright to build a strong claim and hold all liable parties accountable for reimbursing you for your losses.

Work-Related Accidents and Injuries Can Happen to Anyone

There is no doubt that some jobs are inherently more dangerous than others. Construction workers, fishermen, and loggers face some of the most hazardous work conditions in the professional world, but they are not the only workers who suffer debilitating work-related injuries. At Wright Injury Law, we have helped truckers, roofers, and people in the following professions get the compensation they deserve after a workplace accident.

Teachers

While the classroom may seem like a safe environment, teachers encounter various risks, including the following:

Slips, trips, and falls within the school premises
Strain injuries resulting from repetitive tasks, such as grading or typing
Classroom accidents, such as cuts or burns during experiments
Stress-related illnesses due to the demands of the profession
Verbal or physical assaults from students or parents
Injuries sustained while working with special populations

Teachers who cannot work after an injury at school have a claim for workers’ compensation and might also have a claim against a contractor in the building, a student or parent, or a manufacturer of classroom equipment, depending on the cause of the accident. A work injury lawyer can help teachers navigate the complex claims process.

Nurses

Nurses in doctors’ offices, urgent care clinics, and hospitals are exposed to multiple occupational hazards every shift. A few of these risks include the following:

Needlestick injuries while administering injections
Patient-handling injuries, including strains from lifting or moving patients
Slips, trips, and falls within hospital or clinic environments
Exposure to infectious diseases during patient care
Workplace violence, including verbal or physical abuse from patients or visitors

Nurses are particularly vulnerable to strain and overuse injuries that accumulate over months or years of working with patients. These can be complex claims to win, but with Brooke Eaves Wright on your side, you can rest assured that your rights will be protected.

Electricians

Electricians—whether working for a power company, construction subcontractor, or independently in private homes—face unique risks associated with working with electrical systems, including:

Electrocutions due to contact with live wires
Falls from heights when working on electrical installations
Burns resulting from electrical malfunctions
Cuts and abrasions from handling tools and sharp materials
Musculoskeletal injuries due to the physical demands of the job

Because workers’ compensation is no-fault insurance, it doesn’t matter if the electrician’s own error caused the accident that left them injured—they should still be compensated for their injuries.

Anyone Who Drives for Work

Truck drivers and delivery personnel face auto-accident-related injuries. Still, anyone who drives a vehicle as part of their job duties—even on a one-time errand—is eligible for workers’ comp if they are in an accident or suffer another driving-related type of injury, such as the following:

Motor vehicle accidents, including collisions and overturns
Repetitive stress injuries from long hours of driving
Fatigue-related incidents leading to accidents
Exposure to hazardous materials during transportation
Back and neck injuries due to prolonged sitting and driving

There are exclusions for specific situations, such as coming and going to work and leaving work during the day for a personal errand. Still, an experienced Myrtle Beach workers’ comp lawyer can help determine your eligibility for compensation after a work-related car accident in Myrtle Beach.

Construction Workers

Most of the injured worker cases we see at Wright Injury Law involve accidents on construction sites. Construction workers face a range of hazards, including:

Falls from heights, such as scaffolding or ladders
Struck by falling objects, including tools and construction materials
Machinery accidents leading to crush injuries or amputations
Electrocutions from contact with live wires
Musculoskeletal injuries due to heavy lifting and repetitive tasks
