Dear Kevin,
My friend, very seldom in life do people like you exist. But
I would like to thank you again for all you expertise…we
love you, your wife, baby and entire staff. We really
appreciate the time and effort spent to help [our son].
Thank you.
Dear Kevin & Helen:
Just a little note to say thanks. We appreciate what you all
have done for us. Each and every one of you have helped a
lot. I would also like to say thank to Rebecca for putting
up with all of our questions. When we needed an answer she
got it for us. She also lent a sympathetic ear when things
were moving rather slow.
Dear Kevin,
I wanted to personally thank you for all your hard work…It
is clear that you are very dedicated to your work and take
great pride in ensuring that you do it well.
Dear Kevin,
Thank you for everything you've done for me. Do not think
for one minute that it is unappreciated.
Dear Kevin,
We would like to express our appreciation for all you've
done for our case. Without you none of this would have been
possible. We will certainly pass the word along. Thanks
again!

About Florida Law
One 10-minute visit to Florida's Division
of Workers' Compensation web site (http://www.fldfs.com/wc/)
will quickly convey how complicated Florida's laws truly
are. For example, the first notice (Feb 2008) is
entitled "Recommendations for Determining Customary Charges
for Florida Outpatient Hospital Services to Workers'
Compensation Patients." It gets much more complicated from
there.
Under the "Publications and Manuals" menu button, you will
find a brochure intended to explain victims' rights in
workers' compensation cases in Florida. It includes contact
numbers for appropriate offices, as well as some solid
information about your rights and responsibilities.
Unfortunately, it includes many somewhat confusing
sentences.
''…benefits are provided when the doctor releases you to
return to work and you have not reached MMI and earn less
than 80% of your pre-injury wage. The benefit is equal to
80% of the entire difference between 80% of your pre-injury
wage and your post-injury wage."
More troubling is this paragraph:
''You are not required to have an attorney. If you do hire an
attorney to represent you with your workers' compensation
claim, the fees and costs may come out of your benefits,
unless your employer or workers' compensation carrier is
held responsible for paying your attorney fees.''
The reality of Florida's Workers' Compensation laws is that
they are very complicated, always changing, and can be more
than a little intimidating. We obviously recommend that you
hire a lawyer who can guide you though the process, make
sure that you cross all the t's and do the i's, and preserve
your legal rights.
