Workers Compensation Attorneys Miami

All states have a workers' compensation program designed to protect employees injured on the job. Florida law requires employers with four or more employees to have an insurance policy for work-related injuries, and the employer pays the premium at no cost to the employee. If workers are injured on the job, the insurance coverage provides payments for medical care and lost wages due to the injury.

Because workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance program, injured employees do not have to prove an injury was someone else's fault to receive benefits. In Florida an estimated 100,000 workers are injured on the job and apply for benefits each year. The State of Florida Workers Compensation Program covers a wide range of injuries arising from accidents as well as job-related illnesses, including occupational illness or diseases occurring over a period of time as a result of exposure to hazardous substances, environmental conditions, or repetitive body motion.

State statutes govern the benefits available to you, set limits on amounts awarded and time limits for filing workers compensation claims.

Workers compensation benefits available to you may include:

• Lump-Sum Tax Free Settlements
• Medical Expenses
• Payment for lost wages
• Physical rehabilitation and training
• Death benefits for a spouse and surviving dependents
