Boca Raton Workers’ Compensation Attorney
// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE
Boca Raton Workers’ Comp Lawyers
Understanding all the nuances of a workers’ compensation claim and the filing process can be a challenge. The workers’ comp lawyers at Kanner & Pintaluga have a deep understanding of these laws, the common hurdles filers must overcome to receive compensation and the ways in which employers and insurance companies attempt to undermine the process. We use that knowledge to help our Boca Raton workers’ comp clients get the recovery they deserve after suffering an injury at work.
You may be entitled to compensation for:
- The full value of your claim, not just your immediate medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Long-term medical costs
- Reduced earning capacity
Without a lawyer, you might not fully understand all the potential damages and may settle for less than you are entitled to receive. We’ll make sure you have all the information so you can make an informed decision.
Get Help Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts to policyholders. They have teams of experienced lawyers and adjusters who have dedicated their careers to making sure people in your situation get paid as little as possible. When you’re injured, the last thing you need is to negotiate with these professionals on your own. We level the playing field, advocating on your behalf to ensure that your rights are protected.
Collecting and Presenting Evidence
Solid evidence can be invaluable for proving your claim. This may include medical records, witness statements, accident reports and more. We know what evidence to look for, how to collect it and how to present it effectively to support your claim.
No Upfront Fees
Like in personal injury cases, our workers’ comp attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t owe us anything up front. We don’t receive any payment until we successfully negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
Common Types of Workers’ Comp Injuries in Boca Raton
Workers in Florida who have suffered injuries in any of the above accidents are likely entitled to workers’ compensation, regardless of who was at fault. Unlike personal injury claims, it’s not necessary to prove a third party’s negligence led to your injury, you must only prove that the injury was suffered in the course of your assigned job duties while you were on the clock.
However, the specific benefits and the process for obtaining them can be complex, so it’s often beneficial to consult with a local Florida attorney who has experience in workers’ compensation law.
- Slip and fall injuries: These can occur in any workplace, from offices to construction sites, and can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor bruises to serious fractures or even traumatic brain injuries.
- Overexertion injuries: These often occur in jobs that involve heavy lifting, pushing or pulling, but can also result from repetitive tasks in an office setting. They can lead to strains, sprains and other musculoskeletal injuries.
- Struck by/against injuries: These happen when a worker is hit by an object or forcefully hits an object. This is common in construction or manufacturing settings but can also occur in a retail or warehouse environment.
- Caught in/between injuries: These involve a worker getting caught, crushed, squeezed, compressed or pinched between two or more objects. This is common in industries like construction and manufacturing.
- Repetitive motion injuries: These are injuries caused by performing the same task repeatedly over a long period of time. This can lead to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis.
- Vehicle-related accidents: These are common in occupations that involve driving, such as trucking, delivery services and certain types of sales jobs.
- Workplace violence: Unfortunately, incidents of violence can occur in the workplace, resulting in physical injuries.
