What is workers’ compensation?
It is a system designed to help injured employees. Under this system, when Florida workers suffer injuries on the job, they typically can seek benefits through pursuing a workers’ comp claim with their employer’s insurer. This is a non-fault claim; workers are generally eligible for benefits as long as their injuries are work related.
What benefits are available?
There are various types of workers’ compensation benefits that you may qualify for in Florida, including:
- Medical bill coverage for your injury
- A portion of your lost wages
- Death benefits
Kevin is ready to help you pursue the maximum benefits available to you under the law.
How soon do I have to report a work injury?
Prompt reporting is crucial to securing your rights. In Florida, you need to report your injury within 30 days to remain eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.
How long do I have to file a workers’ comp claim?
In Florida, you typically have up to two years to file such a claim.
What if my claim is denied?
In the case of a denial, you might have the option to sue your employer’s workers’ compensation insurer. Kevin can advise you on your rights and help you with the steps involved in responding to a denial.
Does getting an experienced workers’ comp lawyer cost a lot?
When you choose Kevin, you don’t have to pay any attorney’s fees upfront or out of pocket. He takes cases on a contingency basis. This means that you will only pay Kevin if he wins your workers’ comp case. In the event of a win, Kevin’s fees will be covered by a portion of the recovery.
