Injured at work?
Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. represents injured workers throughout the state of Florida. Our lawyers provide workers with valuable legal services required to go up against their employers in workers compensation disputes. Under workers comp laws, you are entitled to a range of benefits if injured on the job, including medical expenses, physical therapy, a portion of lost wages while unable to work, aid and attendant care, full prescription reimbursement, medical mileage, modifications to make your home accessible for your disability, and a host of other benefits. Worker's compensation benefits are applicable if you are an employee (not an independent contractor), and your injury was sustained during the course of your employment. When determining how much your workers comp case might be worth, we analyze a host of factors including your age, wages, future expected wages, job type, injury type, level of education and training, and future estimated medical care and therapy.
What You Should Do
If you have been injured on the job, you should file a workers compensation claim within thirty days of your injury. You should then be able to see an approved doctor who will be reimbursed by your employer or by your employer’s workers comp carrier. We recommend that you take notes about the circumstances surrounding your accident. Keep a journal of your injury and how it affects your ability to perform your job duties. It could be beneficial to interview any coworkers or other witnesses. Also keep records of your workers comp claim process. If you have any problems receiving medical benefits, lost wages or other benefits, you should seek legal representation right away.
