Losing income and facing additional medical expenses due to a workplace injury or illness can be a very threatening situation. That is why Florida law has put the worker’s compensation system into place.

Our Port St. Lucie worker’s compensation attorneys want you to obtain every dollar in benefits that you deserve and we will pursue your cause with diligence and determination.
Common Workplace Injuries
If you are injured while performing the duties of your job or if you develop an occupational illness or injury caused by the type of work you do, you may be eligible to file a claim for worker’s compensation benefits. Typical injuries leading to such a claim include:
- Broken bones, sprains, torn ligaments, herniated discs, and other muscular injuries
- Repetitive motion trauma, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
- Head injuries
- Loss of or damage to hearing
- Respiratory illnesses or other diseases caused by toxic fumes or chemicals
- Other injuries to the back, shoulders, neck, hips, ankles, feet, hands
- Injuries to other organs
Fault is not an issue in claims made stemming from workplace accidents or illnesses. Under state law, most employees are covered by worker’s compensation insurance through their employers.
Your Benefits Under Florida Law
Recipients are entitled to medical treatment including authorized visits to doctors or hospitalization, prescription medicines, laboratory tests, physical therapy, required medical equipment, or prostheses. Other benefits include compensation paid on temporary total disability, temporary partial disability, impairment benefits, and permanent total disability benefits. For the families of workers who have died due to work-related accidents or illnesses, death benefits may be sought and obtained.

I just started today with Steinger, Greene & Feiner after unfortunately suffering injuries from a car accident which ended in a 4 vehicles involvement and he was recommended by a friend. The gentleman that came to take my information … More was very courteous and respectful. He was very educated in terms of the insurance's responsibilities and the lawyers attempt to make sure my needs are taken care of. I feel very comfortable with this agency but since this is the first time I am in a situation like this I can't really give my full opinion. -
I recently had the misfortune of being involved in an automobile accident that resulted in multiple injuries. While I have been in accidents before, I have never received the exceptional level of care and respect that I experienced from … More David and his team.They consistently ensured that I was well-informed about the scheduling and locations of my specialist appointments. Their unwavering support and presence at these appointments provided me with a sense of security and the assurance that my best interests were being prioritized.Communication was never lacking, as we engaged in numerous conversations, both over the phone and in person, to ensure that I was fully updated on the progress of my case. Any questions or concerns I had were promptly addressed and thoroughly answered by the team.I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the outstanding work performed by David and the entire Steinger, Greene, and Feiner team. Their dedication and expertise not only resulted in the largest settlement I have ever received, but also provided me with peace of mind during a challenging time.Without reservation, I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal representation.

10/10 Highly recommend!! Nothing is better than a word of mouth referral. My mom’s friend was in an accident earlier this year and she told me to call Steinger, Greene & Feiner when I got hit. How do I navigate this?? Who’s going to … More fix my car?? My lawyer David Mitchell, was absolutely the best! I never dealt with or knew how to navigate a post accident situation! From start to finish I had someone on my side. Someone fighting for me. He always listened to me. Even when I thought some of my questions might have sounded juvenile. He never made feel insecure for asking questions. I was supported 100%. No one plans or wants to get in an automobile accident. But it happens. Luckily SGF is there to help! I truly see this whole experience as a blessing in disguise. I’m forever grateful for their efforts and winning my case. Thanks David, you and your whole team are amazing.
