Delray Beach Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

Workers’ compensation claims can become more complicated than they initially appear. As a no-fault claim / benefit, many workers assume there’s no incentive for insurance companies or employers to dispute workplace injuries. Like Florida car accidents, workers’ comp claims are no-fault, meaning you don’t need to prove negligence to file a successful claim. All you need to show is that your injury occurred on the job while you were performing your assigned job duties.

What many people don’t realize is the same motivations that insurance companies have in car crash cases also apply to workers’ comp claims. The less they pay out to injured people the better it is for their bottom line, so they often seek to dispute claims by downplaying the severity of injuries, questioning how long a worker really needs to be out of work during recovery or by suggesting the injury wasn’t job-related.

At Kanner & Pintaluga, we won’t hesitate to investigate your workplace injury to bolster your case or aggressively represent you in negotiations with the insurance company or during the appeal of a workers’ comp claim denial.

Frequently Asked Questions About Workers’ Compensation Cases

In Florida, most employees are covered under the workers’ compensation system. However, there are exceptions for certain types of workers, such as independent contractors, agricultural workers and domestic workers. Consulting with an attorney can help determine your eligibility.

Typically, your employer or their insurance carrier may have the right to select the medical provider for your treatment initially. However, in certain circumstances, you may be able to switch to your preferred doctor after seeking legal advice.

If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. An attorney can help you navigate the appeals process and advocate for your rights.

The duration of a workers’ compensation case can vary depending on the complexity of the issues involved. Some cases are resolved through negotiation, while others may require a hearing before the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings.

Workers’ compensation operates on a no-fault system, meaning that you are usually always eligible for benefits regardless of who caused the accident – as long as it occurred within the scope of your employment.

Hire a Workers’ Compensation Attorney Who Will Aggressively Fight for the Compensation You’re Owed

Although Florida generally gives you 30 days from the date of the accident or from when you became aware of your work-related illness, you should notify your employer about your injury or illness as soon as possible. Delaying your report may raise questions about the legitimacy of your claim.
