What are Work Injuries in North Miami Beach?

Work injuries in Florida can take many forms:

• Construction site injuries

• Workplace violence

Any injury that occurs on company time, involves company property, or occurs in the workplace or due to your work may be covered under workers compensation and may be considered a work-related injury.

Who is Responsible for your Workplace Injury?

In the Florida workplace, there many potential liable parties after a work injury:

• The manufacturers or retailers of defective workplace equipment
• The employer
• The owner of a building in which the workplace is situated
• Other employees (including managers and supervisors)
• Clients or customers
• Motorists (in the case of a car accident involving a workplace vehicle)
• The designer of the building in which you work

If only your employer is liable for your injuries due to negligence, you may only be able to seek workers compensation benefits in North Miami Beach or your community. In this case, you may not be able to pursue a legal claim against your employer for negligence or recklessness. If your injury was caused – even in part—by a third part, you may be able to pursue a claim. It is beneficial to speak with a personal injury attorney in North Miami Beach or your community in order to ensure that you get the fairest claim amount possible. An attorney can review your injury and can help you determine your legal options.

Liable Parties and Your Workplace Injury

In many cases, there are multiple liable parties in a workplace injury. If you are injured by a piece of equipment or if you are in a traffic accident at your North Miami Beach workplace, for example, it is possible that there are other liable parties. In this situation, you may be able to pursue a legal claim in order to get the fairest compensation possible. Fair compensation can help you pay for medical costs, lost wages, and other expenses – which may be substantial after a serious injury. To find out more, consult with a personal injury attorney in North Miami Beach or your community.
