When We Can Help You

Thousands of people are injured on the job each year and they are entitled to their lost wages and appropriate medical treatment for their injuries. It does not even matter who was at fault for the accident – the injured worker is still entitled to benefits under Florida’s "no fault" law. Sometimes a third party (a manufacturer of a machine; a sub-contractor; another person or entity) may be responsible for the injuries and if so, a separate and distinct personal injury claim can be brought on behalf of the injured worker.

Common issues with Construction Accidents or Workman’s Compensation include:

• Pressure not to file a workman’s compensation claim

• Failure to receive the appropriate monetary benefits

• Dissatisfaction with medical care or not receiving adequate medical care

• Request for specific medical treatment being denied (MRI, therapy or medication)

• Failure to have work provided within the injured worker’s restrictions (i.e. light duty)

• Post-accident discrimination or termination

If you are injured while on the job, you may be entitled to the following benefits:

• Monetary benefits

• Two-Third (66 2/3%) of your compensation (with a maximum amount annually)

• Disability benefits based upon your impairment rating

• Primary treating physician

• Second opinion

• Independent medical examination

What We Can Do To Help You

Once your immediate needs are met, we will work closely with your insurance company, the at-fault parties’ insurance company, and your medical providers as well as any other relevant parties to insure that all of your needs are being handled appropriately and quickly.

Job Accident or Injury, Workman’s Compensation, Construction Accident claims and lawsuits arise when people are injured by the negligent, careless or intentional acts of others or are injured from defective products. If a person or company is determined to be legally liable for injuring someone else due to their negligence or carelessness or even intentional acts, then they may be required to pay the injured person (or their family) monetary damages that are designed to put a person back to where they were prior to their injury (i.e. compensatory damages). In certain instances, punitive damages may also be awarded to the injured person (or their family) if the actions of the at-fault party were so extreme. Punitive damages are intended to punish the at-fault party and prevent them from harming others again in the future.
