When you have been hurt at work, you need money to help you pay for your treatment and get you back on the right financial track.

Florida Laws Make Claiming Workers’ Compensation Tougher than Most States

ian_lloyd

Filing for workers’ comp after a work-related injury can be tough in any state, but in Florida, injured employees have fewer rights, and insurance carriers have more opportunities to deny a claim.

For instance, your insurance company and employer get to tell you what doctor you must visit to verify your injury and whether or not you are able to return to work. Since you cannot get a second opinion, you may find yourself frustrated with a healthcare provider that claims you are less injured than you actually are.

Secondly, Florida insurance regulations have a strict interpretation of a partial or total disability. Your employer could argue that you are able to return to work in a diminished role with fewer earnings, hurting your ability to claim replacement income.

You deserve to have the full-time and money it takes to heal from all of your injuries. Don’t let insurers or employers intimidate you into thinking you don’t have legal options. A workers’ compensation lawyer in Florida can assist you with your case and the appeal denials you have recently received.
