Delray Beach is home to workers from all over the world. Our community values all individuals from part-timers on work visas, construction workers, teachers, restaurant employees, lawn and pool maintenance workers, hotel staff, and office workers. Regardless of your field of work, if you’re injured on the job, you have the right to file workers’ compensation. Unfortunately, accidents do happen on the job site or within the workplace. If you are unable to return to work from a recent workplace injury or have suffered from a workplace mishap that has caused bodily disfigurement, permanent damage to your vision or your ability to walk, your employer’s insurance is responsible for compensating you. Our Delray Beach work injury attorneys will fight for the compensation you deserve.
You can recover the following damages in a workers’ compensation claim:
Workers’ compensation also pays for funeral costs and provides benefits to the family in the case of an on-the-job death. There are varying degrees of workers’ comp available and it truly depends on the severity of the injury and time spent away from work to learn about the benefits you are capable of receiving.
Workers’ compensation is mandated by law in the state of Florida to reduce the number of lawsuits against business owners. If you fall victim to an injury, once you claim workers’ compensation with your employer’s insurance company, you are not permitted to sue your employer for any further medical expenses or loss of wages that you may endure after the settlement. That’s why it’s important to work alongside a Delray Beach workers’ compensation lawyer who will research all of what’s entitled to you before you sign any agreements. Statutes of limitations for workers’ comp claims in Florida are two years from the date of injury. Meaning, workers cannot claim benefits for medical treatment or sue their employer for lost wages after two years.
