Pursuing the Maximum Amount of Worker's Compensation Benefits
Employers in Florida are obligated to carry worker's compensation insurance. This provides employers with a safeguard when employees become injured on-the-job. Workers have a right to obtain worker's compensation benefits for all types of work-related injuries such as:
- Neck, back, shoulder and knee injuries
- Head trauma injuries
- Neurological injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Repetitive stress injuries/carpal tunnel
- Hand and feet injuries
- Vision and hearing loss
- Work-related heart attack or stroke
- Psychiatric injuries
- Chemical burns
The amount of worker's compensation benefits individuals can obtain varies greatly. Our law firm will work with your doctors to understand the extent of your injuries. Part of our focus includes identifying how your work-related injuries have threatened your ability to continue working in any or similar capacity. Our detailed focus helps us determine the types of benefits you qualify for, such as permanent total disability benefits, temporary total disability benefits, temporary partial disability benefits or impairment benefits, and medical care, specialists, etc.
We are committed to helping you obtain the full amount of benefits you are entitled to for your past and future medical care and lost wages. We are also available to help you determine if you would like to receive your benefits over time or as a lump sum settlement. The laws and rules concerning worker's compensation are complicated and are always changing. We remain at the cutting edge of the law so we can best secure your rights.
A 31-year-old worker fell approximately 20 feet from a scaffold and sustained multiple injuries. We were successful in obtaining a court award of permanent total disability benefits for the injured worker, despite the fact that no physician precluded him entirely from work. This was a notable achievement, given the worker's young age. We will apply our record of success to your advantage.
Handling Third-party Claims for Injured Workers
We are committed to helping injured workers maximize their recovery options. If a third party such as a contractor, subcontractor, owner of premises, manufacturer or negligent driver ultimately caused the work-related accident, you have an opportunity to recover additional compensation through a personal injury claim.
At Friedman, Rodman & Frank, P.A., we pursue all possible sources of recovery to help secure compensation for your injuries. We will conduct a thorough investigation to determine if a defective product, subcontractor or another third party ultimately caused the accident. If so, we will help you recover maximum compensation for your past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
When a city employee was injured while using a street sweeper on the job, Friedman, Rodman & Frank, P.A., helped him recover $1.96 million in damages because the sweeper was found to be defectively designed.
