A workplace back injury can leave you painfully sidelined, out of work, and, well, flat on your back, for weeks. If the injury happened while you were at work, you can file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, which covers all your necessary medical care plus a wage stipend while you’re out of work recovering. This benefit is free to you, but you do have to file the claim and follow the state requirements to keep your benefits. Our Glades County, FL back injury at work lawyer can guide you through the application process to secure all the benefits you’re entitled to, and if your claim is denied, help you file an appeal. At the Law Offices of Franks, Koenig & Neuwelt, we’re committed to supporting the rights of injured workers like you. Call us today for a consultation.
Back Injury At Work Lawyer Glades County, FL
Back injuries are incredibly painful and debilitating. We don’t realize how much we depend on a strong, functioning, and flexible back and spine until something happens. From muscle strains and tears to spinal cord injuries, workplace back injuries can cause you serious problems. Under Florida law, if you’re injured at work, you should be covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. This free-to-you benefit should be fairly simple to claim: report the injury, see the employer-approved doctor, and follow their orders for care until you’re ready to return to work.
However, you may run into trouble getting your claim approved. With back injuries, it’s easy for your employer’s insurance company to claim that you had a pre-existing condition, or that the injury didn’t happen at work, but rather on your own time. We help you fight back. Our firm can handle all aspects of your back injury claim, including making sure you have the right documentation to get it approved and negotiating with the insurer on your behalf. And if your claim is denied, our Glades County back injury at work lawyer can appeal it on your behalf. We have a long history of helping injured people like you, and we want to make sure you get all the benefits you deserve.
