Arm Injury Value in South Carolina Workers’ Compensation
Arm injuries are among the most serious workplace accidents because they can affect nearly every task you perform. Under South Carolina law, the loss of an arm is worth 220 weeks of benefits—the longest valuation for an upper-body injury.
Partial loss or impairment is compensated based on percentage. If a doctor assigns a 30% impairment rating to your arm, that translates to 66 weeks of benefits. Each week is worth two-thirds of your average weekly wage (again, subject to maximums).
The system is designed to provide financial support, but it rarely covers the full picture. What happens if your injury prevents you from returning to your old job, or if you need retraining for lighter work? These are real issues that a lawyer can address in your claim.
At Smith & Beckey, we understand how arm injuries disrupt both your work and your daily life. Our attorneys make sure your settlement reflects not only the medical percentage, but also the true impact on your career and future.
