Helping You Pursue The Full Treatment Benefits You Deserve

Repair shop accidents can lead to particularly severe injuries, such as brain trauma, spinal cord injuries and amputations. Such injuries often require expensive and extensive treatment.

Are all such treatments covered by workers’ comp? It depends on the circumstances. In Florida, workers’ compensation typically covers all treatment deemed necessary by the treating physician to address a work-related injury. Our firm will be dedicated to helping you pursue the full medical benefits you deserve, along with any other benefits you may be entitled to, like lost wages.

Special Concerns For Employees Of Small Shops

If you work for a smaller repair shop, then you may face unique challenges in getting relief for workplace injuries. This is because, depending on the circumstances, your employer might not carry workers’ compensation insurance. For most industries, the requirement to carry such insurance doesn’t apply to employers of three or fewer employees.

If your employer falls under this exception, then they have the choice of whether to offer workers’ compensation coverage to employees. We can help you understand your rights and the options available to you based on what your employer has opted for on this front.

Does Fault Play A Role In Workers’ Comp?

Could being accused of being at fault for your injury cause your workers’ comp claim to be denied? Generally, no. Workers’ comp is typically a no-fault system, meaning that fault is usually irrelevant. However, insurers might deny claims for other reasons, arguing, for instance, that an injury isn’t work-related. We will be ready to assist you in responding to such denials and fighting for your rights.
