Workers compensation claims are more common in Tampa and Orlando than in most locales because the work is more often in the great outdoors. Anyone who has lived in or around Tampa, Petersburg, or Clearwater understand that it rains a great deal, that outside maintenance of mossy roofs and walkways is a constant, and car accidents are more common and severe. If you got hurt at work, whether you slipped and fell or got into a car accident while on the job, your employer is responsible.
If you are hurt on the job you must call a lawyer who specializes in workers compensation law. No matter how well you know your boss, their first job is dictated by their bosses and/or their insurance companies. You need to have legal advice from a workers comp lawyer in order to keep the playing field level. Choosing a lawyer who specializes in workers comp in central Florida is your best chance of getting health and living costs paid while you recover.
