The Benefits of Having an Attorney
The state of Florida requires all employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. As such, successfully filing a claim may initially seem fairly straightforward, but there may be other factors that may require the services of an attorney.
- Your employer may object or outright reject your claim on the basis that they were not liable for your injuries at the time of the accident.
- Insurance companies may reject your claim for undisclosed reasons – often to limit their payout.
- The amount of compensation you receive through insurance may be considerably less than is required for your full recovery.
- If negligence contributed to your accident, you may want to consider a third-party claim to recover more compensation for your damages.
Workers’ compensation claims often quickly become contentious. In these situations, Farah & Farah can help you navigate the legal process with ease and minimal added stress.
Let Us Help You With Your Workers’ Compensation Claim
In Florida, the workers’ compensation system is no-fault, which means you do not need to prove that your employer was negligent to collect compensation. You only need to show that you sustained an injury while carrying out your work duties, and your workers’ compensation benefits should cover your medical expenses, lost wages, and disability, if applicable.
Our attorneys understand that not being able to work can seriously affect your quality of life. We are committed to helping you receive workers’ compensation benefits as soon as possible. Working with a lawyer can help streamline the process and encourage insurance companies to take your claims more seriously.
