Eye Injury Value in South Carolina Workers’ Compensation
Vision is something many of us take for granted until it’s gone. A serious eye injury at work can change every part of your life. In South Carolina, the workers’ compensation system sets the loss of an eye at 140 weeks of benefits.
If you lose vision partially, your benefits are reduced based on percentage. For example, a 50% loss of vision in one eye equals 70 weeks of benefits. If you lose both eyes or suffer total blindness, your claim may be considered differently, with more expansive compensation.
Eye injuries are often minimized by insurers, who may suggest you can still “function” with one good eye. But the reality is that vision loss affects depth perception, safety, and your ability to perform even basic tasks at work and at home.
At Smith & Beckey, we know how to document the full impact of an eye injury and fight back against low settlement offers. Our goal is to secure the benefits you deserve and the resources you need for your future.
