Time Limitations for Filing

After a workplace injury, your priority should be your recovery. However, South Carolina law sets important deadlines for reporting your injury and protecting your right to workers' compensation benefits.

  • Report your injury: In most cases, you must notify your employer within 90 days of your workplace injury.
  • Third party claims: If someone other than your employer caused your injury, such as a negligent driver or equipment manufacturer, you may also have a personal injury claim. In many cases, these claims must be filed within three years.
