Why Attorneys Refer Workers’ Comp Claims to Goings Law Firm
Workers’ compensation is different—and we treat it that way
Workers’ comp isn’t just a form-driven process. Strong outcomes come from timing, medical proof, credibility, and a plan for what happens when the carrier pushes back.
We protect your name and your client relationship
You’ll never be left wondering what’s happening. We provide meaningful updates at key stages (intake → medical posture → dispute posture → mediation/hearing posture → resolution), and we work in a way that reflects well on you.
We are built to litigate disputed claims
Insurance companies respond differently when they know the file is being prepared properly for a hearing—not just a quick settlement ask. We work cases up to win.
Statewide reach across South Carolina
Whether your client is local or several counties away, we make intake and ongoing communication easy.

Referral or Co-Counsel: You Choose the Model
We strive to work with you and the client on model that is in the best interest of each client you sent to us.
Option A: Straight Referral
You refer the client to us, we take the lead, and you receive an agreed referral fee consistent with professional rules and the arrangement approved by the client. The extent of your involvement and interaction with the client can be personalized based on preferences.
Option B: Co-Counsel
We partner with you. You can remain involved as much—or as little—as you’d like, and we divide responsibilities in a way that serves the client and makes sense for the case. We’re flexible, and we’ll propose a structure that matches your preference and the needs of the case.
Ethical Fee Handling
We handle referral fees and co-counsel arrangements with licensed attorneys in a manner consistent with South Carolina’s Rules of Professional Conduct, including:
- Client informed consent (confirmed in writing)
- A written agreement describing the arrangement
- A total fee that is reasonable
- Division of fees consistent with the services performed and/or joint responsibility assumed
How to Refer a Case (Simple Process)
Step 1: Send what you have
Even minimal info is fine. Helpful items include:
- date of injury + employer + carrier/TPA (if known)
- claim status (accepted/denied/unknown)
- current medical status (treatment, work restrictions, MMI/ratings if applicable)
- any deadlines, mediation dates, hearing dates
- adjuster/NCM contact info (if available)
Step 2: We run conflicts and complete intake
We’ll quickly confirm conflicts, schedule intake, and make sure the client understands the process. We will schedule an in person or virtual meeting with you and your client, or if desire, we will schedule a meeting with the client at your direction.
Step 3: You receive confirmation + written paperwork
You’ll receive confirmation of next steps, plus a written referral/co-counsel agreement as appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept referrals statewide in South Carolina?
Yes. We accept South Carolina workers’ compensation referrals statewide and make intake easy for clients regardless of location. And, we will travel to your office to meet with your client.
Will you keep me updated?
Yes. You can choose the level of involvement—hands-off referral updates or active co-counsel collaboration.
Do you handle disputed cases and hearings?
Yes. We routinely handle contested claims, medical disputes, wage disputes, and cases headed to mediation or hearing.
Can you coordinate workers’ comp with a third-party injury claim?
Yes. When a workers’ comp client also has a third-party claim (like an on-the-job car wreck), coordination matters. We can work with you as co-counsel or help ensure the strategies align.
