We don’t realize how much we depend on a functional, pain-free back until it’s hurt. Pulled muscles, slipped discs, or even a spinal cord injury are all common workplace injures that can leave you painfully sidelined for months. Depending on how badly you’re injured, you may be unable to work in the same line of work, which puts a considerable strain on your family’s finances. You have legal options for medical care and benefits, and our Hendry County, FL back injury at work lawyer can help you get them. Call the Law Offices of Franks, Koenig & Neuwelt today to learn more.
Back Injury At Work Lawyer Hendry County, FL
A back injury can leave you out of work for weeks or even months. Many people require surgery or ongoing treatment from a specialist or chiropractor. Even with the best of care, if the injury is serious enough, you may not be able to work in the same job you had, especially if it’s a physically demanding one. Florida workers’ compensation benefits include disability benefits if the back injury has left you permanently disabled and unable to work. If you can work in a different capacity and just need additional education or skills training to seek a different line of work, you’re likely eligible for vocational retraining benefits, too.
Our Hendry County back injury at work lawyer supports your claim for all benefits you’re entitled to. We work with your treating physician (your workers’ comp doctor) to ensure that the documentation you submit gets your treatment covered and shows that you are eligible for any other benefits, like disability pay.
We know the law well and are dedicated to helping injured people like you get back on their feet again. If your claim is denied, we appeal it with the Florida Workers’ Compensation Board. We answer your questions, soothe your worries, and fight for your rights.
