Fort Myers Workers' Comp Attorneys
At the law offices of Friedman, Rodman & Frank, P.A., our Naples personal injury attorneys aggressively pursue all possible avenues to get you the compensation you need. If you or someone you care about has been injured at work, workers' compensation may be one of those avenues. It may not be the only one.
We handle all Florida on-the-job injury cases, including construction accidents and accidents involving all other occupations. Through workers' compensation, victims of these workplace injuries may be eligible for medical care, wage loss benefits and possibly lump sum settlements.
We represented a worker whose hand was severely injured while working on a press brake machine. The employer had been warned about the dangers of the machine, so we took action against that employer. We won a $3.7 million verdict for the victim.
Injuries Commonly Suffered in the Workplace
Work comp benefits are available to most employees who suffer an injury during the course of work-related duties. Injuries suffered in the workplace include:
- Back and neck injuries
- Shoulder, knee and joint injuries
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive motion injuries
- Hand injuries
- Foot injuries
- Vision and hearing loss
- Work-related stroke or heart attack
- Chemical burns
Workers' compensation laws are complicated. They change frequently. It is critical that you have a lawyer on your side who has the experience to resolve these matters effectively. We have decades of experience.
Personal Injury Lawsuits and Workplace Injuries
Workers' compensation claims are not the only avenue. We also may be able to file a personal injury claim against a third party that was responsible for the injuries. Third parties may include subcontractors, vendors or property owners. Claims may also be filed against the manufacturer of a defective piece of equipment that caused the accident or made it worse. It is important to consider these options because they can help to maximize compensation.
We thoroughly investigate all cases, making certain that no option is overlooked. In the process, we show many injured workers that they have more options than they thought.
