Question:
Am I entitled to unemployment insurance benefits if I am unable to return to my regular employment?
Answer:
If you’ve been injured on the job and are receiving workers’ compensation benefits, so that you’re getting paid while you’re out of work, you won’t be able to draw unemployment benefits at the same time. South Carolina law actually says that to draw unemployment benefits, you have to sign a statement certifying that you’re able to work. If you’re drawing workers’ compensation benefits or you feel you’re not able to work, I would encourage you not to sign that statement because they will use that against you when you get an attorney who could make a claim for the workers’ compensation benefits. That’s one benefit you won’t be entitled to, but you have the other benefit to fall back on.

Client Reviews
Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.
