Award-Winning Representation – As Seen On:
Representing Injured Workers’ Across South Carolina For Construction & Industrial Industries
Charleston’s economy is driven by industries where physical labor and machinery create higher injury risks. We routinely work with injured employees in:
- Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities (Volvo, Boeing, automotive, and aerospace suppliers)
- Construction & Skilled Trades (contractors, electricians, roofers, heavy equipment operators)
- Port & Warehouse Workers (shipping, logistics, cargo handling)
- Hospitality & Service Industry (hotel maintenance, kitchen staff, housekeeping injuries)
No matter the industry, workplace injuries can disrupt your income, your health, and your future.
Common Construction & Industrial Injuries in South Carolina
These environments often involve heavy equipment, repetitive motion, and hazardous conditions. We handle cases involving:
- Back, neck, and spinal injuries
- Crush injuries and fractures from injured feet, hands and knees
- Falls from heights (scaffolding, ladders, roofs)
- Equipment and machinery accidents including de-gloving and amputations
- Burns, chemical exposure, and electrical injuries
- Repetitive stress and overuse injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Many of these injuries require ongoing medical care and can impact your ability to return to work.

Get Help Understanding Your Workers’ Compensation Benefits
If you’re dealing with a workplace injury in Charleston, North Charleston, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner, Summerville, Orangeburg or the surrounding areas, contact The Law Office of Peter David Brown for a consultation. No pressure. Just clear answers about your rights and options.
If you’ve been seriously injured on the job and have required months of medical treatment and rehabilitation, you need our experience working for you.
As you would expect with a serious work related injury matter—one that requires surgery and rehabilitation, where the damages threaten your livelihood—you need the most skilled and experienced attorney available to personally lead and direct your legal claim.
You need the attorney whose name is on the building, not on the door, or even the desk. There is no margin for error. This is not time for “practice” as your family and home could be in jeopardy.
When You May Have a Third-Party Claim in Construction & Industrial Workers’ Compensation Cases
In addition to workers’ compensation, some injured workers may have a separate claim against a third party, such as:
- Subcontractors or other companies on a job site
- Equipment manufacturers (defective machinery or tools)
- Property owners (unsafe premises conditions)
- We are well versed in looking for these additional causes of action in order to help you fully recover for your injuries and possibly for the unnecessary negligence of another who caused or added to your injury.
These claims can provide compensation beyond what workers’ compensation allows.
You might actually have two (2) separate courses of action and thus recover additional funds for your injuries. It takes an experienced attorney to recognize these potential avenues of recovery. Experience matters. Don’t trust your future to just anyone. Hire the attorney whose name is on the building. That is why you came to the firm—you deserve to have his experience guiding your matter.
