No matter how severely you were hurt in an accident on the job, the objective of the workers’ compensation system is to replace income that you stand to lose as a result of the injury. If the state determines that your career in any occupation will be shortened by at least 300 weeks, you might be entitled to a one-time payment for permanent disability.
Our attorneys understand the important distinction between impairments and disability ratings. These depend not only on the nature and impact of a physical injury, but also on the consequences of an injury for your ability to pursue a particular occupation or career.

Our job as Rock Hill workers’ compensation lawyers is to show how the physical impairments you suffered in a job-related accident will affect you over time in the work you actually performed before your injury. If you work in a physically demanding field like construction, truck driving or home health aid, the disability rating you receive from a given injury should normally be higher than it would be for an office worker.
