Florida Workers’ Comp Benefits
Florida law provides medical benefits as well as compensation for lost wages for those who have been injured in a sudden accident or through repetitive motion activities. Workers who develop occupational illnesses caused by the type of work they do are also covered.
The workers’ compensation system has been set up to help you without any reference to fault. You are required to report your injury within 30 days to your employer. A medical provider authorized by your employer or his insurance company will give you the necessary medical care needed. The rate, amount, and duration of your benefits checks to cover lost income will be determined by whether you are totally or partially temporarily disabled or permanently disabled.
Do You Have a Workers Comp Case?
To be eligible to file a workers compensation benefits claim, you must meet the following basic criteria:
- You are an employee of the company.
- The company you work for carries workers compensation insurance.
- You have an injury or illness related to your work.
- You have met Florida’s deadlines and requirements for filing a workers compensation claim.
Sometimes, though, a person’s employment status isn’t straight-forward, or their employer may say they don’t have a claim. If you are not classified as a full-time employee or if your employer tries to say that your claim is not valid, speak to a workers compensation lawyer who specializes in Florida law to help you make your case.
Proven Personal Injury Lawyers
A fair settlement is not what you can expect to receive from the insurance company. Their goal is to reduce payouts on claims so they can remain highly profitable. Our proven and committed legal team understands the tactics these companies regularly use to pay claimants as little as possible. We routinely battle their schemes in and out of court, and have developed effective methods for doing so.
With a legal team of more than 30 lawyers and more than 140 staff, including investigators and other assistants, we have the resources needed to get the job done efficiently. You can bring your personal injury case to us with confidence, knowing you will pay nothing until we recover the compensation you deserve. Throughout the entire case, we will be by your side, providing the guidance you need.

I had a great experience with this law firm . Concetta Camacho is a fantastic lawyer and very compassionate. I felt like she was actually listening to me and what i was going through unlike other lawyers i have dealt with that treat you … More like another paper on the desk. Marrissa Carrier was my point of contact and ALWAYS answered my texts and calls within minutes. Having someone respond with adequate time is so important to me. Great communication on her part. I am very grateful to have found them. They ensured the BEST possible turnout for my case. Cannot recommend them enough -
Allison Davis was amazing from the beginning to end. She was quick , answered every question & put it in dummy terms for me to understand. She was friendly made sure I fully understood even when I wasn’t sure & got upset she took … More her time with me. There’s never been a moment when I called she didn’t answer except one time & she called back within 30 mins. Made this a quick , easy & understanding process. Highly recommend. Very grateful for Allison & the entire team through this process I spoke to multiple people but Allison was the most on top of everything & Claudia was just as great.Gavin was just as amazing. The entire team will always refer them.
