Workers' Compensation
Workers' Compensation is a benefit that is available to the vast majority of employees in Florida who suffer an injury that arose out of and in the course and scope of employment. Common work related injuries typically covered by workers' compensation include:
- Neck, back, knee and other joint injuries
- Loss of use of limbs
- Eye Injuries
- Carpal tunnel / repetitive trauma
- Occupational diseases such as asbestos and dermatitis, disfigurement and scarring of face, neck or hands
- Work related heart attack or stroke
We are devoted to assisting our clients in working through this complicated area of law. The issues that arise most often in these matters are:
- Whether you were an employee according to the law at the time of the injury?
- Was the injury caused by your job?
- Was there an injury as defined by the law?
- Are you entitled to benefits?
- What benefits are you entitled to?
- Was the injury permanent?
- Can your case be settled?
- Should you accept a settlement?
