The South Carolina Workers’ Compensation system was created to answer these questions, providing a “no-fault” safety net for injured employees.
At The Law Offices of David L. Hood, we know that the system doesn’t always work as it should. Insurance companies are businesses, and their goal is to minimize your claim. For over 30 years, attorney David L.

We give you the “leg up” you need to focus on your recovery.

With 17 locations statewide, from Murrells Inlet to Greenville, we are always within reach. We offer free, confidential consultations and work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
