Workplace Injury Lawyer Wellington, FL
After you get hurt at work, there are specific steps you must take to apply for workers’ compensation benefits. If you don’t follow the proper procedure, it could be grounds for a denial. You also have the right to have a lawyer assist you with your claim and to appeal a denied claim on your behalf. As your Wellington workplace injury lawyer, we can assist with all of this and protect your rights at every step of the process.
We review your claim before submitting it, ensuring that it covers your injures and that no errors or omissions cause the insurance company to deny or minimize it. We can work with your treating physician and any specialists you need to see for your injuries, and get the proper documentation to support your filing.
We also review all the benefits you’re entitled to under the law, which could include disability pay and vocational retraining, if you’re seriously injured and unable to continue in the line of work you were in before you got hurt. Many injured workers don’t realize all the benefits they may be eligible for; we make sure you get what’s right and what you’re entitled to. If you have problems with your employer, such as failure to provide light-duty accommodations or negotiate a workable return-to-work date, give us a call. We can intervene on your behalf.
