Our Delray Beach work injury attorneys will fight for the compensation you deserve.

Damages

You can recover the following damages in a workers’ compensation claim:

  • Medical bills and treatment
  • Lost wages
  • Medical equipment
  • Prescriptions

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.

Medical bills and treatment

Statute of Limitations in Florida

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.

What To Do Next

Our lawyers recommend the following after a work accident:

  • During your time of recovery in the first two years, be sure to document everything.
  • Photographing the extent of your workplace injury is valuable proof of the suffering you’ve endured.
  • Collect all copies of your medical bills and costs for traveling to and from the hospital.
  • If there are any witnesses or medical personnel who assisted you immediately after your injury, collect written statements as well.
  • Hire a workers’ compensation lawyer to handle everything for you while you heal.

FAQs

What is the deadline to file a catastrophic injury claim in Florida?

For injuries on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the date of injury under Fla. Stat. §95.11. Injuries before that date may fall under the prior four-year deadline. Wrongful death carries a separate two-year deadline from the date of death.

Yes, as long as you are found 50% or less at fault. Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule reduces your recovery by your share of fault; more than 50% at fault bars recovery entirely.

Longer than most clients expect, and for good reason. Building an accurate life-care plan, completing expert analysis, and applying the right pressure takes time. I give you an honest timeline in our first meeting.

Nothing upfront. We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you. Case costs are advanced by the firm and recovered from the settlement or verdict.

Local knowledge matters. I know the Palm Beach County courts, the local adjusters, and the defense firms that handle these cases in South Florida. I also handle cases throughout Broward and Miami-Dade counties.

We pursue every available source: your own underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, umbrella policies, and any third-party defendants whose negligence contributed. See also our Florida Car Accident Insurance Claims Guide.
