Any job carries the risk of getting hurt; Florida lawmakers recognize this and so developed a comprehensive workers’ compensation benefits plan to cover all necessary medical care for your workplace injury, plus a wage replacement stipend so you can pay your bills while you’re out of work. This benefit is free to you, and in many cases, fairly straightforward to access. However, many injured workers find themselves at a loss when their employer or the insurance company denies their claim. Our Hendry County, FL injured at work lawyer is here to help you get the benefits you deserve. Call the Law Offices of Franks, Koenig & Neuwelt today for a professional consultation.
Injured At Work Lawyer Hendry County, FL
We all deserve a safe place to work, but when an accident happens and you’re injured, what do you do? The workers’ compensation claims process should be fairly straightforward: Report the injury to your employer, see an employer-approved doctor for treatment, and follow the doctor’s orders until you are cleared to return to work. Your benefits cover all necessary medical care for your injuries, including surgery and treatment if you develop complications. If you need physical therapy afterward, or other types of rehabilitation, like a chiropractor, workers’ comp should cover those, too.
Many uninjured people run into problems with their claim, though. The insurance company may deny your valid claim because they don’t want to pay a large settlement. Or, your employer may assert that you caused the accident, or that your injuries weren’t due to a work-related accident. When you can’t get the benefits you are entitled to, it’s time for us to step in and help you.
Our Hendry County injured at work lawyer works with your treating physician to ensure that your workers’ comp documentation clearly supports your claim. We can act as the intermediary between the insurance company and your employer, so you can focus on your recovery. If they still deny your claim after we get involved, we can appeal it before the Florida Workers’ Compensation Board, or even initiate legal action. Our attorneys are by your side at every step, supporting your rights and fighting for what you deserve.
