Why Choose Roden Law for a North Charleston Workers’ Comp Claim
North Charleston is the industrial engine of the Lowcountry — aerospace manufacturing, the port terminals, the Palmetto Commerce Parkway logistics belt, and heavy retail along Rivers Avenue — and its major employers carry sophisticated insurance and defense counsel who dispute wages, cut off medical care, and rush injured workers back to the line. 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 Spruill Avenue office in Park Circle sits in the middle of these worksites.
- 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 North Charleston Workplace Injuries We Handle
North Charleston concentrates some of the state’s highest-injury industries, each with its own claim pattern:
- Aerospace and manufacturing injuries — repetitive-motion, machinery, and fall injuries at Boeing and its supplier and contractor operations.
- Warehouse and logistics injuries — lifting injuries, forklift incidents, and struck-by injuries across the Palmetto Commerce Parkway and Rivers Avenue (US-52/78) distribution corridors and the port terminals.
- Retail and hospitality injuries — slips, falls, and lifting injuries at Tanger Outlets and the Rivers Avenue retail strip.
- Construction and roadwork injuries — falls, struck-by, and equipment injuries around the busy I-26/I-526 interchange and ongoing tri-county development.
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. 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). Because your employer’s insurer generally directs your medical care and chooses your physician, that doctor’s rating heavily influences your recovery — which is exactly where your own attorney matters most.
