Florida Workers' Compensation Lawyers
Serving throughout the Great State of Florida
Just because you’ve been injured on the job doesn’t mean the bills stop coming in—even though you may be unable to work because of your work injury. Florida law mandates that workers’ compensation benefits must be provided in a prompt manner rather than being delayed through court proceedings. This system for handling workers’ compensation claims was devised to help ensure people received compensation quickly and without complication. However, injured Florida workers don’t always get their benefits quickly or without a fight.
A Florida workers' compensation lawyer at Steinger, Iscoe & Greene is here to help injured workers and their families. When your employer or its insurance carrier doesn’t cooperate, call the offices of Steinger, Iscoe & Greene to talk with one of our lawyers and get your questions answered.
Workers’ Comp 101
If you sustain an injury while at work, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Disabilities acquired over time and diseases are also covered. For example, if you develop a pinched nerve or chronic pain during the course of several years of work because of repetitive movement required by your tasks, you may be able to collect compensation for treatment. Applicable benefits cover a wide range of both short- and long-term disabilities acquired on the job, including carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle strain, or back injury.
Workers’ compensation benefits come in three forms: lost wages, medical fees, and vocational rehabilitation or retraining. Generally, you will receive compensation for lost wages equal to roughly two-thirds of your gross wages, averaged from a period just before your injury or illness. Customary and reasonable medical fees are also covered.
Even if a Florida workers’ compensation case does not involve a lawsuit, you may still need reliable advice regarding your rights, particularly if a dispute arises regarding your claim or the money you are due. At Steinger, Iscoe & Greene, it’s our goal to use our experience in employment law and workers’ compensation cases to help you get the maximum benefits you truly deserve.
