Our Practice Areas
Most of us depend on steady work and a reliable paycheck to fund our lives, but that very livelihood can be placed under serious strain after an injury, especially if it happens at work. A workplace injury can present several challenges. At Injured Florida Law, we can help you navigate the workers’ compensation process and improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
What is Worker’s Compensation?
Workers’ compensation is a protection offered to workers to cover lost wages and medical bills for an employee injured on the job. Each state mandates this form of insurance, and Florida has its unique set of qualifications and appropriate coverage. Workers’ comp in Florida covers:
- Wage replacement
- Medical treatment
- Vocation rehabilitation
There are additional benefits available on a case-by-case basis, which is why it’s so important to consult with an attorney first.
Do I Need an Attorney for My Workers’ Compensation Case?
Workers’ compensation cases can range from simple to complex. Having an experienced attorney on your side can help simplify the process and ensure a successful claim. There are several scenarios in which having an attorney is a must. Here are some examples:
