The importance of having an experienced Florida workers’ compensation lawyer on your side

Understanding Florida’s workers’ comp insurance system operates

Our Workers compensation attorney Florida can help you file a successful case. Florida’s workers’ comp system relies on an administrative court system and is intended to help cover lost wages and medical expenses – without assigning fault for the injury. 

An employer obtains workers’ compensation through self-insuring, private insurance, or state insurance. There’s no cost for this insurance to the employee, but when a claim is filed, the worker can no longer sue his or her employer for further compensation to cover injury-related expenses.

What to expect during the legal process with the help of  Workers compensation attorney Florida

The experienced Florida workers compensation lawyer at LaBovick Law Group will assist you with the following steps to ensure you get the benefits you deserve:

  • Under Florida law, if you’ve been injured on the job, you must report the accident within 30 days. You must also file the lawsuit within 2 years. We’ll help make sure your employer has notified their insurance company within 7 days of your report, as mandated by law.
  • Our Florida workers’ comp lawyer will help ensure you undergo a proper medical evaluation for your injuries. You will first see a physician of your employer’s choice, and then receive a second opinion from a physician of your choosing.
  • You’ll then have to file a petition for a benefits claim, which will be mediated by a third party. This is where you detail exactly when, where, and how the accident happened, provide witnesses, describe your injuries, and more. You must file the correct paperwork to ensure Medical and Lost Wage Benefits, which is why it’s important to secure a representative for yourself who is familiar with Florida’s workers’ comp law.
  • Most claims amounts are sorted out in the mediation. Your claim will go under review, and your benefits will be determined, based on the severity and expected duration of your injury and your ability to perform your job in the future. When your claim is not settled, it will advance to a trial before a workers’ compensation judge. There are no jury trials for this.

Receiving an average Workers’ Compensation in Florida

The average workers’ compensation settlement in Florida depends on a number of factors and should be evaluated by an experienced Florida workers compensation lawyer. Some of these terms are for example:

  • The severity of your injuries;
  • The extent of your property damage;
  • Whether you were partially at fault for the accident.

However, in general, workers’ compensation settlements in Florida tend to be relatively small – typically ranging from a few thousand dollars to around $50,000.

Why it is important to hire a Florida workers compensation lawyer

A workers compensation attorney Florida is invaluable to ensuring you secure the compensation you’re owed. The LaBovick Law Group will fight for you to ensure you receive the benefits you need and deserve.

Workers’ compensation cases can be complicated. While workers’ comp insurance is meant to protect you as an employee, your claim can be rejected for several reasons:

  • If your employer disputes that you have suffered a work-related injury or illness;
  • If you didn’t notify your employer or file a claim within the specified time periods;
  • If your injury or illness isn’t deemed severe enough to warrant workers’ compensation.

Insurance companies are in the business of claim denial and claim delay. These companies attempt to save money in the short term by rejecting claims based on weak defenses. 

Employee benefits must be available for those employees who have suffered a significant injury or illness arising out of and in the course of their employment.

It’s essential for employees who are injured on the job to have a Florida workers compensation lawyer review all of their documents prior to filing a workers’ comp lawsuit. Our system is designed to do that seamlessly and effortlessly once we file your lawsuit.

FAQ
about Florida Workers' Compensation Lawyer

It is highly recommended to seek help from a qualified Florida workers’ compensation attorney to file your claim for two main reasons:

  • Your employer may dispute your workers’ comp claim.
  • Some claims can be rejected due to weak defenses and lack of judicial knowledge.

If you are injured on the job, you can seek workers’ compensation for damages. Specialist lawyers can protect the employee or employers from claims that fall on their shoulders. Compensation may be paid for physical or emotional damages.

In Florida, settlements for workers’ comp claims can take around 12 to 18 months, depending on the specifics of the case. However, hiring your own Florida workers’ comp attorney will help speed up the whole process.

Workers’ comp lawyers in Florida are paid only if you win the trial. They get what we call a contingency fee, meaning a percentage of the settlement you will earn from the case.
