CHARLESTON, SC – The Steinberg Law Firm has always broken new ground. More than 80 years ago, the firm’s attorneys helped write the laws that protect injured workers.

Today, they’re turning to technology – specifically an I-phone app – to put more power in the hands of the people.

 The new, free Charleston Workers’ Compensation app resides on I-Tunes and can be downloaded on any I-phone or I-pad (an Android version is in the works). Users will find helpful guidance on what to do in the case of an accident, can reference numerous phone numbers, and can learn more about their rights under the SC Workers Compensation Act.

 “We know that workplace injuries can happen any time of the day,” said David T. Pearlman, a partner in the firm. “By harnessing new technologies, the Steinberg Law Firm continues our legacy of helping injured people when, and where, they need us.” He added: “Hopefully the app will keep people from making mistakes that can hurt their right to workers’ compensation benefits.”

 With three offices throughout greater Charleston, the firm helps thousands of clients and their families every year. “We’ve observed our waiting room and seen how very reliant our clients are on their smart phones. It just made sense to be there for them, too.”

 For more than 80 years, The Steinberg Law Firm has been helping injured workers and their families manage complex issues related to the law. With nine attorneys in three offices – Charleston, Goose Creek and Summerville – the firm has developed a reputation for integrity and hard work on behalf of its clients. Members of the firm have been honored with numerous awards and distinctions.
