Florida Workers' Compensation Law

The law of Florida workers’ compensation is very complex, and adjusters will often try to take advantage of the fact that you do not know the law. It is important to consult with an experienced workers’ compensation attorney to insure that you receive the benefits you are entitled to under the law, including your wage or salary replacement and the medical treatment you need.

This website offers additional information on the Florida Workers’ Compensation Act for those individuals who want to try to understand the law, including information about lost wages, medical benefits and permanent disability benefits.

Info To Know About Benefits :

In many instances, when you have been injured at work and are seeking workman’s comp / workers’ compensation benefits, the insurance company adjuster handling you case does not always have your best interests in mind. Their goals are to handle claims quickly and with as little cost as possible. For more information, please read about What Your Adjuster May Not Tell You.

Free Consultation of Your Workplace Injury

It’s not a good idea to try to understand the Florida workers’ compensation laws yourself. Hire an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer who has helped hundreds of injured workers and has been doing so for over 18 years.   

If you think you can’t afford an attorney, remember that the Law Office of Joan Dymond Horenstein in Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm Beach, and all of Florida works on a contingency or percentage fee basis. This means you only owe us money if we recover benefits for you. In addition, hiring an attorney often increases the amount of benefits you recover.
