Since being founded in 2017, Cavanaugh & Thickens, LLC has recovered millions of dollars in compensation for victims of accidents, including car, truck, and on the job accidents.

Nick joined the team in 2020, launching the firm’s workers’ compensation practice, which quickly became a highly regarded and award-winning practice.

While attending college, Nick worked on an assembly line at a large manufacturing plant in Greer, South Carolina. Following law school, Nick worked for a large, multi-state defense firm. There, he represented insurance carriers exclusively in workers’ compensation matters and handled numerous cases from initial injury notice to settlement or trial. These experiences gave Nick a unique perspective into the struggles of dealing with a work injury, as well as the legal process. This laid the foundation for his passion for helping injured employees seek justice and compensation after an unexpected work accident, especially when they are being treated unfairly by insurance carriers or employers.
