Healthcare Workers Are High-Risk For Being Infected With COVID-19
"Some local officials, including in Charleston, have already assured firefighters, police officers and paramedics that the government will cover some or all of their time off if they get sick. But for more serious cases of illness — or worse — first responders may be precluded from accessing a key protection: claims for financial assistance under workers’ compensation."
"Doctors and medical staff are required to get up close and personal to treat the infected and limit the spread of the virus. Their continued exposure to the virus makes them susceptible to contracting it."
"Dozens of health-care workers have fallen ill with covid-19, and more are quarantined after exposure to the virus, an expected but worrisome development as the U.S. health system girds for an anticipated surge in infections."

Put the Firm Behind You
As one of the first Jewish attorneys in Charleston, Steinberg experienced discrimination and this inspired him to assist another disenfranchised group during that time - African Americans.
The firm began handling criminal and civil cases, and in the early 1920's, Steinberg became interested in workers compensation law. There were, however, no workers compensation laws on the books at the time. Steinberg and other South Carolina attorneys then gathered statutes from other states and lobbied to add a similar law in South Carolina in 1936.

Is Covid-19 a work-related injury or disease if contracted at work?
Often nobody knows when occupational exposure to an infectious disease occurs. Under South Carolina law, an occupational disease arises due to working conditions. If you can show a link between your exposure while on the job and your decline in health, these occupational injuries or diseases may qualify you for medical treatment, benefits and compensation.
Occupational diseases and exposures can have cause a sustained long-term detrimental effect on your health and well-being. The State of South Carolina's definition of an occupational disease can make it difficult to successfully pursue a workers' compensation claim for a disease contracted on the job that has also exposed the general public. However, there may be an exception for healthcare workers whose work environments increase their risk of contracting the coronavirus (COVID-19). The Steinberg Law Firm has fought to expand the definition of an accidental injury to include the effect an exposure, the fever, aches, and respiratory distress, as well as the actual exposure itself.
