What You Need to Know About Workers’ Comp Claims in Florida

Well, you need to know that you have to make sure that you report them timely. Under Florida Workers Compensation Act, you have to report the claim to your employer within 30 days to give them proper notice. You have 2 years to file a claim. You need to seek treatment immediately and once you’re receiving treatment, that will determine whether you’re entitled to other benefits in the system.

If you treat, that’s what triggers your indemnity benefits for your lost wages. If you miss treatments and it becomes a problem, then the insurance company can cut off your benefits because you don’t have the medical documentation to say that you’re still needing to receive those benefits.
