McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC
Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
Injuries sustained while on the job are usually covered by your employer’s workers' compensation insurance. In order to process your claim, your company’s insurer will have its doctor verify your condition and evaluate your ability to return to work. At McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC, our workers' compensation lawyers assist clients in preparing all necessary paperwork and medical documentation, while taking steps to protect their job. If your employer tries to intimidate or coerce you into returning to work before you are ready, we are ready to undertake any necessary legal action to prevent this abuse. In cases where injuries are downplayed or dismissed, we refer clients to medical specialists who may dispute the findings of your employer’s doctor.
If you would like more information on workers' compensation and how we can help you, contact South Carolina workers' compensation attorneys at McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC. Our Rock Hill, Columbia, and Anderson office locations represent clients in Charleston, Greenville, Orangeburg, Sumter, Myrtle Beach, and Florence.

Third Party Liability – Injuries Caused by Others

At McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC, our personal injury lawyers will not only assist you in filing for workers' compensation, but we will also pursue damages against the third party responsible for causing your injuries. This is especially important in cases where your injuries are severe or involve vocational rehabilitation workers compensation or disability.
