Your Questions Answered

Do I need a lawyer for a workers’ compensation case in Florida?

It is highly recommended to seek help from a qualified Florida workers’ compensation attorney to file your claim for two main reasons:

  • Your employer may dispute your workers’ comp claim.
  • Some claims can be rejected due to weak defenses and lack of judicial knowledge.

If you are injured on the job, you can seek workers’ compensation for physical or emotional damages. In general, workers’ compensation settlements in Florida tend to be relatively small  – typically ranging from a few thousand dollars to around $50,000.

Under Florida law, if you’ve been injured on the job, you must report the accident within 30 days. You must also file the lawsuit within two years. LaBovick Law Group helps make sure your employer has notified their insurance company within 7 days of your report, as mandated by law.

In Florida, settlements for workers’ comp claims can take around 12 to 18 months, depending on the specifics of the case. However, hiring your own Florida workers’ comp attorney will help speed up the whole process.

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
