Chesterfield County has a reputation for being one of the most pleasant places to live in South Carolina. A resident of Cheraw, for instance, can enjoy the charms of “The Prettiest Town in Dixie” while also having easy access to larger cities such as Columbia and Charlotte.
However, like other areas of South Carolina, accidents happen in Chesterfield all of the time, including accidents caused by the careless or reckless acts of others. If you or a loved one has been hurt in such an incident, you can count on Jebaily Law Firm to help you.
With more than 100 years of combined legal experience, we handle a broad range of personal injury cases, including those that involve:
When you choose Jebaily Law Firm, you can expect your lawyer to seek maximum compensation for you, including past and future medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and more. We understand the important role that personal injury compensation can play in your recovery, especially if you have suffered catastrophic harm such as traumatic brain injury or spinal cord damage.
You can also expect your lawyer to work directly with you as a partner through all stages of your case. We will not treat you as just another case number. Instead, your lawyer will get to know you as a person and focus on what is important to you.
Many Chesterfield County residents work in the construction, manufacturing and shipping industries. The county’s major employers include Schaeffler Group USA, A.O. Smith Water Products, Conbraco Industries, C.M. Tucker Lumber Companies and Wal-Mart.
Unfortunately, these jobs carry risks. Workers can get hurt in workplace accidents or suffer from an occupational illness or repetitive trauma injury.
If you suffer injury in a workplace accident in Chesterfield, you may be eligible to receive South Carolina workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits can pay for all of your medical expenses. They can also cover two-thirds of the wages you lose while you are unable to work due to your injury or illness.
Jebaily Law Firm can guide you through the process of seeking workers’ compensation benefits. We can also help you if your employer or its workers’ compensation insurer denies your claim.
If the negligence of someone other than your employer or a co-worker caused your work injury or illness – for instance, you suffered injuries due to a negligent driver or a defective piece of equipment – Jebaily Law Firm can help you to pursue a third-party liability claim in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.
If you suffer from a physical or mental impairment that prevents you from being able to work in Chesterfield, Jebaily Law Firm can assist you with filing a claim for Social Security Disability benefits.
In order to qualify for these benefits, your condition must meet the Social Security Administration’s narrow definition of a “disability.” In other words, you must have a total, permanent disability, or one that has lasted for 12 months or is expected to last for at least 12 months or result in death.
Additionally, you must meet certain work history requirements. If you cannot meet those requirements, you may still be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
A disability benefits lawyer from Jebaily Law Firm can help you to prepare your application and provide the medical evidence and other information that South Carolina Disability Determination Services (DDS) will need to decide your claim.
If DDS denies your claim, you have the right to appeal. We can assist you with a request for reconsideration and, if necessary, represent you in a hearing before an administrative law judge at the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) in Columbia or Charlotte.
Keep in mind: If you suffer from a work-related disability, you could qualify for both workers’ compensation benefits and SSD benefits. Your lawyer from Jebaily Law Firm will explore all options available to you.
If you were involved in a car, truck or motorcycle accident in Chesterfield County, you can take several steps before you meet with Jebaily Law Firm about your case. Those steps include the following:
Finally, if an insurance company contacts you and makes a settlement offer, please allow Jebaily Law Firm to review the offer before you accept it. We can advise you on whether the offer would fully and fairly compensate you for your losses.
If your car accident, slip and fall, dog bite or workplace accident occurred in Chesterfield County, your lawsuit would likely be filed in the Fourth Judicial Circuit.
The Court of Common Pleas is the Chesterfield County Circuit Court branch that has jurisdiction over civil cases in which the value at stake exceeds $7,500. The Court of Common Pleas and Clerk of Court are located at the Chesterfield County Courthouse at 200 West Main Street in Chesterfield.
Keep in mind: Although Jebaily Law Firm prepares every case for trial, we often resolve personal injury and wrongful death claims for our clients through settlements.
