Workers' Compensation

Have you been the unfortunate victim of a workplace injury? We are ready, willing and able to help you gain the compensation and medical benefits you very much deserve.

We do not charge any legal fees to represent you with your workers' compensation case. If we don't win your case, you don't pay any of our fees. In fact, we make the insurance company pay our legal fees — and we fight to provide you the medical benefits and lost wages you deserve when they drag out scheduling your appointments, deny treatment, don't send your paycheck on time, or just stopped calling you back.

The Good News

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 worker's compensation policy, employees are compensated for occupationally incurred injuries 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 — however, it is a violation of Florida Law to be fired for reporting a work-related injury. Having an attorney on your side causes all parties to follow the law or be held accountable.

The Bad News

Time is of the essence. You only have 30 days to report your injury to a boss or supervisor at your job. If you fail to report within this time frame, your case may be denied. Contact our office immediately — even if you are outside the 30-day window, there may be exceptions.
