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 whom 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.

Pressure not to file a workman’s
compensation claim

Failure to receive the appropriate
monetary benefits

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)

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 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
was so extreme. Punitive damages are intended to punish the
at-fault party and prevent them from harming others again in
the future.
