Florida's Workers' Comp Lawyer | 25 Years Of Experience
Even with OSHA requirements and the increasing awareness of workers of the risks of head and brain injuries on the job, such accidents and injuries remain on the rise. All too frequently seemingly minor head injuries are being ignored by workers and the real effects of these injuries are realized only after the time to file a claim with their employer has expired. If you have had any recent head injury on the job and have not reported it through your employers it would be a very good thing to do immediately. If you need help, please contact our Florida workplace head injury lawyer, Kevin A. Moore. Kevin will assist you with your catastrophic injury by getting the Workers’ Compensation treatments and protection that workers are entitled to.

IT IS IMPORTANT that you first work through your WC appointed doctor – you could jeopardize your benefits if you do not – call Kevin to get an understanding of why this is true.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), also called acquired brain injury or simply head injury is a complex injury with a broad spectrum of symptoms and disabilities. TBIs primarily occur when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. A Traumatic Brain Injury can result from both skull penetrating and non-penetrating events. The results of traumatic brain injury vary widely in type and duration; the symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. With such varying causes and effects it is important that any worker who encounters a head injury with any of the symptoms or characteristics above file a Workers Comp claim and be checked out by a qualified physician. If your employer or workers comp insurance carrier fail to authorize appropriate WC treatment you should contact a good Tampa workplace head injury attorney immediately.

You Need An Attorney Who Specializes In The Complexities of Workers Compensation Law. What you don’t need is a lawyer who “also” practices Workers’ Compensation. Florida Workers Compensation laws can change regularly and ensuring your lawyer is highly competent in this specific area is critical. As a matter of history, Florida has undergone major workers compensation law changes in 1989, 1994 and 2002. Additionally, the Judges of Workers Compensation continue to modify the law based on their rulings. Attorney Moore is fully apprized of the latest law changes and will position your case to maximize your benefits.

Kevin Moore has handled 1,000’s of workers compensation cases since 1992.
If this head injury occurred because of a Tampa, Florida workplace accident, you should rightfully expect your employer and their insurance company to provide quality care, covering all of your injury related expenses, and compensate you, while you are unable to work if you authorized physician indicates, for your resulting lost income. These are reasonable expectations but all too often you end up having to fight the insurance company for your rightful compensation.
You Are Covered By The Law: According to the Florida Workers Compensation Statute Chapter 440 Section 15 – you could qualify for Temporary Total or Temporary Partial Disability Wages and be entitled to up to 66% of your average weekly wages during the time period of such disability. There are some restrictions and you may have disagreements with the insurance company about them. If this is your circumstance or are worried that you may have such a disagreement with the insurance company then now is the time to contact Kevin Moore’s Workers Compensation Law Firm.
Insurance companies are supposed to pay you every two weeks you are out of work because of your injuries. If they don’t pay you timely they owe you penalties and interest. They are also supposed to pay you based upon your last 13 weeks of wages earned. In many cases the insurance company incorrectly calculates your benefits incorrectly and underpays you. You need a lawyer to fight for your lost wage benefits.
The insurance company is required to pay your authorized workers compensation medical expenses, prescription medications and your medical mileage. Many times the insurance carrier refuses to pay a medical bill or prescriptions and you are left with these expenses.
Just when you are at your weakest you may have to fight the insurance company for the most basic benefits. Workers Comp Insurance companies are notorious for denying claims, and denying rightful or quality care and services. The insurance company’s goal is to save money – not to assure you your rightful care and compensation. If you have had a catastrophic injury you are not in a position to fight the insurance company and more than likely neither is your family. You need to know that your lawyer will take care of the issues that arise and have your best interest at hand.
