Each year, UPS delivers millions of packages. That’s due to the hard work provided by UPS distribution facility employees. Unfortunately, these hard-working people are often susceptible to various potential work-related injuries.
If you recently sustained a UPS distribution center workplace injury, you could be eligible for compensation that can cover missing time away from work as you heal and medical expenses for medications and doctor’s appointments.

Receiving medical care lets you treat your injuries while having documentation that’s helpful for your workers’ compensation claim.
South Carolina requires injured workers to report what happened to an employer. You have 90 days from when your injury took place to report it.

Witness statements from people who saw your accident could help strengthen the validity of your claim. Witnesses are not required to have a valid workers’ compensation claim but they can be helpful if UPS denied your claim.
South Carolina allows injured workers to file workers’ compensation claims within two years of their injuries.
Even seemingly simple cases can be deceiving. Legal representation puts attorneys on your side, ready to stand up against the other party.
