Can I File a Claim If I Get Burned While at Work?

In South Carolina, workplace injuries, including burns, are covered by workers’ compensation. This type of insurance provides benefits for medical expenses and lost wages, even if the worker is at fault.However, suppose your burn injury was caused by egregious negligence or involves a third party. In that case, you might have a claim beyond workers' compensation to seek damages not typically covered by your workers’ compensation insurance, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment or life, and even permanent disfigurement.
