If you have been injured at your factory job, your medical care should be covered under Florida workers’ compensation, which also includes disability benefits and a stipend while you’re out of work. Unfortunately, all too many injured workers see their valid claim denied, or aren’t provided all the benefits available to them. We can help you. At the Law Offices of Franks, Koenig & Neuwelt, we stand up for workers’ rights and fight for your fair treatment.

Factory Injury Compensation Lawyer Hendry County, FL
Factory workplace injuries are often serious, leaving you disabled or disfigured. You’re in a lot of pain, worried about your recovery, and, if you’re like many people, afraid that you’re so badly injured that you won’t be able to work anymore or care for your family. We understand your fears and worries, and as your Hendry County factory injury workers’ compensation lawyer, we’re here to help ensure that you receive the full complement of benefits you’re entitled to.
Under Florida workers’ compensation laws, all necessary medical treatment for your workplace injuries is covered by your employer’s insurance, including surgery and physical therapy. You’re also entitled to a partial wage replacement benefit (2/3 of your average weekly pay) while you’re out of work recovering. If you can no longer work in the same type of job you had before you were hurt because of a new disability, you may be eligible for vocational retraining benefits. And, if you’re unable to work, period, because of your workplace injury, then you should be able to collect disability benefits under workers’ comp.
We work with your treatment team to present a strong case to the insurance company supporting your needs. If your claim is denied, either by your employer or the insurer, we file an appeal and can take the matter before a judge, if necessary. Our attorneys support the rights of injured workers like you, and we fight hard to make sure that you get everything you’re entitled to.
