Workers’ Compensation

If you've sustained an injury on the job or an occupational illness, workers' compensation in Florida is meant to provide you with essential benefits. These benefits include medical care coverage, financial assistance, and even job retraining, all of which are crucial for your recovery from a workplace injury. Unfortunately, many hard-working people in Florida, including in Hollywood and Homestead, sometimes struggle to secure their rightful benefits. That's where the qualified Florida workers' compensation lawyers at Flaxman Law Group come in. Reach out to us if you’ve been injured in the workplace. We can arrange a free accident consultation to talk about your options.

In Florida, laws are in place to safeguard workers and ensure safe and healthy workplaces for every employee in the state. Nevertheless, not everyone adheres to these laws. Negligence, defective products, and various other issues lead to thousands of workplace accidents each year. Your employer is obligated to carry workers' compensation insurance coverage for you and should provide you with a workers' compensation claim form to complete and return to them.

Once you fill out the forms and your employer files them, you should get benefits if you qualify. These should include coverage for all your needed medical bills, replacement of part of your average weekly wages if you can’t work, and more.

Unfortunately, even legitimate workers' compensation claims may be met with skepticism from aggressive carriers. Some insurance providers may assert that your claim is invalid and attempt to deny you full benefits. They might argue that you haven't been injured or that the injury isn't severe enough to qualify for workers' compensation benefits.

Additionally, they might contend that your policy doesn't cover specific benefits. It's common for insurers to employ numerous attorneys, which can be intimidating for most workers. However, it's essential to remember that you deserve the benefits you're entitled to, and Flaxman Law Group can work to seek coverage for your injuries. Our firm has assisted many workers injured in Hollywood and other cities throughout Florida.

If you’re injured at work or diagnosed with an occupational illness, you’ll want to inform your manager or employer. Fill out the paperwork for the insurer. If you’re seriously injured at work, get someone in your workplace to call 911. Even if it’s not an emergency, seek medical attention and get as much documentation and proof as you can about what has happened. You might also want to contact Flaxman Law Group to discuss ways you can be sure to get the compensation you deserve.

Workers' compensation insurance gives you the right to receive benefits and assistance if you've been injured during the course of work duties. If you're wrongfully accused of workers' compensation fraud despite having a legitimate claim, or if you're not receiving the benefits you believed you were entitled to, you need the assistance of the workers' compensation lawyers at Flaxman Law Group.

Insurance providers have their own legal representation, and it's crucial for you to have one too. At Flaxman Law Group, we act on behalf of injured workers when dealing with insurance carriers. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits available.
