Why Choose Roden Law for a Grand Strand Workers’ Comp Claim
The Grand Strand economy runs on hospitality, tourism, retail, and construction — industries that lean heavily on seasonal and hourly workers, and where carriers frequently dispute average weekly wage or push injured workers back to the job too soon. What separates Roden Law is direct attorney involvement — you work with your attorney, not a rotating desk of case managers — from the first injury report through your impairment rating and settlement. Our Murrells Inlet office knows the Horry and Georgetown County employers and the adjusters who handle their claims.
- No fee unless we win — free consultation and no out-of-pocket cost to pursue your claim.
- We fight benefit cutoffs — when the carrier stops your checks or denies surgery, we take it to the Commission.
- Full-value settlements — we account for your impairment rating, future medical needs, and lost earning capacity before you sign anything.
Common Grand Strand Workplace Injuries We Handle
Tourism and construction drive the region’s most common on-the-job injuries:
- Hospitality and restaurant injuries — burns, slips, and lifting injuries among hotel, resort, restaurant, and amusement-venue staff along Kings Highway and Ocean Boulevard.
- Construction injuries — falls, struck-by, and equipment injuries on the constant hotel, condo, and commercial construction across Myrtle Beach and Conway.
- Retail and seasonal-worker injuries — slips, falls, and lifting injuries at the outlets and beachfront retail, where wage disputes are common for seasonal staff.
- Golf-course and grounds injuries — equipment and heat-related injuries among the Grand Strand’s large golf and hospitality workforce.
South Carolina Workers’ Comp Deadlines Are Different — Don’t Miss Them
Report to Your Employer Within 90 Days
You must notify your employer of a work injury within 90 days under S.C. Code § 42-15-20. Report it in writing and keep a copy — verbal-only reports are a common ground for carriers to dispute a claim.
File With the Commission Within 2 Years
A workers’ comp claim is filed with the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission within two years under S.C. Code § 42-15-40 — not the three-year tort statute of limitations that applies to car-accident and other injury cases. Missing the two-year deadline can bar your benefits entirely.
What Your Benefits Are Worth
Temporary total disability pays 66⅔% of your average weekly wage, subject to a statewide maximum that South Carolina resets each year. Seasonal and tip-based wages make the average-weekly-wage calculation especially contested on the Grand Strand — getting it right directly affects your check. Permanent injuries are valued under the body-part schedule in S.C. Code § 42-9-30 based on the impairment rating you receive at maximum medical improvement (MMI).
