Even though some jobs are inherently more dangerous than others, such as industrial or marine work, employers still have a responsibility to ensure a safe workplace and to provide workers’ compensation benefits to employees who get hurt on the job. Unfortunately, many injured Florida workers run into trouble accessing their legally protected benefits and cannot get the medical or rehabilitative care they need. Our Wellington, FL workers’ compensation lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company, work with your employer, and initiate legal action to ensure you get the benefits you’re entitled to. Don’t fight alone. Get all your questions answered in a phone call to the legal team at the Law Offices of Franks, Koenig & Neuwelt.
Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Wellington, FL
If you’re injured at work, even if it’s your very first day, you’re entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, which include coverage of all necessary medical care for your workplace injury and a wage replacement stipend to help you pay your bills if you have to miss more than a few days of work. Usually, the workers’ compensation process is fairly straightforward as long as your employer is prompt about filing their side of the paperwork and their insurance company doesn’t reject the claim. When employers drag their feet about completing the claim, try to pin the blame on you for the accident, or if their insurance company determines it’s not a workers’ comp claim, then the process gets complicated, and it’s time for legal help.
Our Wellington workers’ compensation lawyer can streamline the claims process on your behalf, helping you get it approved with the right supporting documentation and working with your treating physician to ensure that all your medical and rehabilitative care (like physical therapy) is covered. We also review the benefits you’re entitled to with you, such as vocational training if the injury has disabled you to the point where you cannot continue in the same job. We know the law well, we know what you’re entitled to, and we’re here to help you get it. We can also appeal a denied claim on your behalf if the insurer fails to approve it.
