Corbin Sutter Personal Injury Workers’ Compensation

When you’re hurt on the job, it can feel like the ground has shifted beneath you. In high-risk local industries like construction, healthcare, distribution/logistics, and retail– all prevalent in the Port Charlotte area – workplace injuries are unfortunately common.

From a fall at a Charlotte County construction site to a healthcare worker’s back injury from lifting a patient, we’ve seen firsthand how these incidents turn lives upside down. Many injured workers don’t know if they need legal help or if they can “go it alone.”

At All Injuries Law Firm, we’ve spent over 35 years helping injured workers throughout Southwest Florida. Our board-certified workers' compensation attorneys —Brian O. Sutter and Bryan Greenberg— are recognized by the Florida Bar for their expertise in this complex area of law. If you’re not sure whether you need an attorney, look out for these7 clear signs— and understand how acting quickly can make all the difference.

1. Your Workers’ Comp Claim Was Denied or Delayed

At All Injuries Law Firm, we’ve helped many workers navigate denials and push back against insurance companies that stall or reject valid claims. Here's what to watch for:

• You received a denial letter.
• You’ve heard nothing from the insurance company after filing.
• Payments or communication are unreasonably delayed.

Why this matters: Insurance companies may argue your injury wasn’t work-related, that you missed a deadline, or cite a preexisting condition.

How a lawyer helps: We gather evidence, appeal denials, and represent you in legal proceedings.

Example: A Port Charlotte warehouse worker did everything right but was denied. We proved his injury was work-related and got benefits reinstated.

2. Your Employer Refuses to Report Your Injury

We’ve worked with numerous clients in Port Charlotte whose employers tried to avoid responsibility. If your boss isn't supporting your claim, it's time to call in the professionals.

• Ignored or delayed injury report.
• Claiming the injury didn’t happen at work.

Florida law requires: You report within 30 days, and your employer must report it within 7 days.

What we do: We make sure your report is documented and use testimony, footage, or logs to prove the truth.

Example: A retail worker was dismissed because her fall happened “before her shift.” We proved she was on the premises for work and secured her benefits.

3. You Aren’t Getting Proper Medical Care or Wage Benefits

At All Injuries Law Firm, our Port Charlotte attorneys know how often insurers cut corners to save money — at the expense of your health. With Brian O. Sutter and Bryan Greenberg, both board-certified in workers’ compensation law, you’re backed by experts who’ve fought and won these battles for decades.

• Medical treatments are denied or delayed.
• Wage checks are late, partial, or missing.
• Benefits stopped without explanation.

A lawyer ensures: Proper care is authorized, wage checks are timely, and you pay nothing out-of-pocket for covered care.

Example: We restored a nurse’s denied therapy and forced a logistics employer to release delayed wage checks with penalties.

4. Your Injuries Are Severe or Permanent

If you’re facing long-term consequences, it’s crucial to have an experienced advocate like All Injuries Law Firmon your side.

• Broken bones, head injuries, or spinal trauma.
• Surgery or hospitalization.
• Extended time off or permanent impairment.

These claims involve:Impairment ratings, medical specialists, and long-term settlements.

Example: A Charlotte County construction worker needed multiple surgeries. We documented his condition and secured a fair settlement for future losses.

5. You’re Being Retaliated Against for Filing a Claim

Workers in Southwest Florida sometimes face retaliation for speaking up — and it’s illegal. At All Injuries Law Firm, we’ve stood up to employers who try to bully injured employees.

• Firing or demotion.
• Being forced to return before healing.
• Harassment or threats.

Florida Statute 440.205 protects you.

We step in to: Stop retaliation and, if necessary, file a civil lawsuit for wrongful termination.

Example: A delivery driver was threatened with replacement. We intervened, and the harassment stopped once the employer saw we were involved.

6. Your Settlement Offer Seems Too Low

Don’t sign anything until we review your offer. At All Injuries Law Firm, we know what a fair workers' comp settlement should include.

• Rushed settlement offers.
• Insurer declares you're healed when you’re not.
• Future medical expenses not considered.

We help by: Challenging low impairment ratings, securing second opinions, and negotiating full compensation.

Example: A wrist injury offer of $10,000 was increased dramatically after we documented ongoing mobility problems and future surgery costs.

7. You’re Overwhelmed or Don’t Know Your Rights

Feeling overwhelmed is one of the most common reasons clients come to us. Our board-certified attorneys— Brian O. Sutter and Bryan Greenberg— guide you every step of the way.

• You’re unsure about forms, deadlines, or benefits.
• You feel like you're missing something important.
• You’re dealing with insurance reps alone.

Why legal help matters: We handle the process, ensure full benefits, and provide peace of mind.

Pro tip: We work on contingency. You pay nothing upfront, and the insurer may be required to cover our fees if they’re at fault.
