Workers’ Compensation in the CSRA
In South Carolina and Georgia, workers’ compensation is designed to provide financial relief to employees who are injured on the job. It is a no-fault system, meaning you are entitled to benefits regardless of who caused the accident, as long as it occurred within the scope of your employment.
Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe working environment and adhere to safety standards.
