How The Workers’ Compensation Program Works In Florida
Workers’ compensation is a benefit that is available to nearly all employees who suffer an injury that arose out of and in the course of their employment. Our workers’ compensation lawyers represent injured employees and workers who have been injured while on the job in Florida. When employees are hurt or injured while performing their duties at work, there is a specialized area of legislation referred to as workers’ compensation law that governs from whom and how much an injured employee can recover.
We have handled countless workers’ compensation cases for clients over the years. Our firm is committed to assisting injured workers and families in navigating this complicated area of law in order to receive all of the benefits to which they are entitled to receive. We have extensive experience in all facets of workers’ compensation law and have earned a reputation as effective attorneys in the courtroom.
