Palm Beach County Florida Workers’ Compensation Lawyer
As your Palm Beach County Florida workers’ compensation lawyer employees trust at the Law Offices of Franks, Koenig & Neuwelt may tell you during a consultation, as an injured worker you may be entitled to compensation for what happened. Sadly, employers routinely deny their workers from using workers’ compensation benefits, even when theh claims are legitimate.
