Understanding Workers’ Compensation in Florida

Workers’ compensation provides benefits to employees injured on the job, but the system can be confusing. Here’s what you should know:

  • Florida law generally requires most employers to carry workers’ comp insurance.
  • You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days of the incident or diagnosis.
  • Benefits typically cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs.
  • In some cases, you may also pursue additional claims if a third party caused your injury.

Having an experienced attorney ensures you meet every deadline, understand your rights, and maximize your benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Workers’ Compensation in Florida

How long do I have to report a work injury in Florida?

You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days of the incident or from the date you discovered the injury.

No. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for seeking workers’ compensation benefits.

You can appeal the denial. We handle all negotiations and hearings to fight for the benefits you’re entitled to.

If someone other than your employer was responsible — like a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or driver — you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit in addition to your workers’ comp claim.

While you aren’t required to have one, having an experienced attorney often makes the difference between a denied claim and the full benefits you deserve.

There are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case.
