Tallahassee Workers’ Compensation Benefits Lawyers

Fighting for the Workers' Compensation Benefits You Deserve in North Florida

Every state has workers’ compensation laws to assist those who have suffered a work-related injury, illness, or disability.

Such injuries and illnesses can impact:

  • Your future in the workforce

Regardless of who may have been at fault in regards to your injury, you have the right to file a workers’ compensation claim to recover a number of benefits. The workers’ compensation system protects both you and your employer who cannot be personally sued by workers as a result of such injuries.

Understanding Florida Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Several types of benefits are available to you depending on the type of injury or occupational illness sustained while on the job.

These benefits include:

  • Medical, including emergency room treatment, hospitalization, medicine, medical devices, physical therapy, diagnostics, and more
  • Lost wages if your injury prevents you from being able to work for more than seven days
  • Death benefits if you are a dependent of a worker who died in a job-related accident

Lost wage benefits further break down into several categories depending on the type of injury involved.

These include benefits for:

  • A total disability that is temporary (benefits have a limited time frame)
  • A total disability that is permanent (benefits continue indefinitely)
  • A partial disability that is temporary (benefits have a limited time frame)

Our Tallahassee workers’ compensation attorneys can help you understand how all of these benefits are determined and how you may qualify.
