Roden Law represents injured construction workers in North Charleston, South Carolina and across the surrounding Lowcountry. North Charleston is one of the region’s busiest industrial hubs — home to port terminals, the Boeing campus, and heavy commercial construction along Palmetto Commerce Parkway — and a construction injury there often gives you two separate claims: a no-fault workers’ compensation claim and a third-party lawsuit against another negligent company. We handle every case on a contingency fee basis: you pay nothing unless we win. Roden Law has recovered more than $300 million for injured clients across Georgia and South Carolina and holds a 4.9-star average from hundreds of client reviews.

Why Choose Roden Law for a North Charleston Construction Accident Claim
The single most valuable thing a construction-injury lawyer does is look past the workers’ comp claim to find a third-party case — because that is where pain-and-suffering and full lost wages come from, which comp does not pay. What separates Roden Law is investigating every party on the jobsite: subcontractors, the general contractor, the property owner, and equipment or product manufacturers. We serve workers throughout North Charleston, Hanahan, and the Palmetto Commerce Parkway industrial corridor, with cases heard in the Charleston County Circuit Court.
- No fee unless we win — free consultation and no out-of-pocket cost to pursue your claim.
- We find the third-party case — recovering the pain-and-suffering and full lost wages comp does not pay.
- Direct attorney involvement — you work with your attorney, not a rotating desk of case managers.
North Charleston Construction Hazards We Handle
Heavy commercial and industrial construction around the port, the Boeing campus, and the Palmetto Commerce corridor drives the “fatal four” hazards our attorneys see most:
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and roofs — the leading cause of construction deaths.
- Struck-by injuries from falling materials, tools, and moving equipment.
- Caught-in/between injuries involving machinery, trenches, and collapsing structures.
- Electrocutions from contact with live wires and unsafe temporary power.
South Carolina Construction Injury Law You Should Know
An injured construction worker in South Carolina usually has a workers’ compensation claim — a no-fault benefit against the employer that is the “exclusive remedy” against that employer — and, in many cases, a separate third-party liability claim against a non-employer whose negligence contributed to the injury. The third-party claim can recover pain and suffering and full lost wages that comp does not. Be aware of South Carolina’s “statutory employer” doctrine (S.C. Code § 42-1-400), which can extend comp immunity up the contractor chain and affect who can be sued. OSHA violations are strong evidence of negligence. Comp deadlines are strict — report the injury within 90 days (S.C. Code § 42-15-20) and file within two years (S.C. Code § 42-15-40) — while the third-party lawsuit generally follows the three-year deadline under S.C. Code § 15-3-530.
