Insurers drag out scheduling your appointments, deny treatment, send your paycheck late, or simply stop calling you back. When that happens, we fight for the medical benefits and lost wages you are owed.
Florida law states that most employers must insure their employees for injuries that occur while on the job and while carrying out work-related activities. Under a workers' compensation policy, employees are compensated for injuries at work, in most cases regardless of fault. This includes medical care, lost wage reimbursement, and out-of-pocket expenses.
Worried about your boss firing you if you report an injury or hire an attorney? Many injured workers fear this, but it is a violation of Florida law to fire someone for reporting a work-related injury. Having an attorney on your side causes all parties to follow the law or be held accountable.
You have just 30 days to report your injury.
Time is of the essence. You only have 30 days to report your injury to a boss or supervisor at your job, or your case may be denied (Fla. Stat. § 440.185). Contact our office right away. Even if you are outside the 30-day window, there may be exceptions. The Florida Division of Workers' Compensation lists the benefits available to injured workers.
