How Workers’ Compensation Works in South Carolina

South Carolina requires employers with four or more full-time or part-time employees to carry workers’ compensation insurance, with limited exceptions such as certain agricultural or casual employment. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, meaning you don’t need to prove your employer did anything wrong to receive benefits, but in exchange, you generally give up the right to sue your employer directly for most workplace injuries. That trade-off is exactly why the claims process matters: an employer or their insurer can still dispute whether an injury happened at work, how serious it is, or whether it qualifies at all, and having someone advocate through that process can make a real difference in the outcome.
