Hollywood, FL Workers’ Compensation Attorney
// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE
Hollywood Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
If you’ve sustained an injury on the clock or contracted an illness caused by the state of your workplace, you are entitled to compensation. However, even if it’s within your rights, fair claim payments aren’t always easy to receive on your own. The lawyers at Kanner & Pintaluga will guide you through every step of the process, helping you understand what you are rightfully owed and explaining the tactics your employer or their insurance provider may use to undermine your claim’s value.
Our experienced workers’ comp lawyers help our Hollywood clients file their workers’ compensation claims promptly so they can receive a just settlement as soon as possible. Workers’ comp claim payments should ideally cover:
- Medical expenses
- Partial wage loss or replacement
- Permanent disability benefits
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Death benefits rehabilitation
Requirements for a Workers’ Compensation Claim
Businesses with four or more employees – full-time or part-time – are required by Florida law to carry workers’ compensation insurance so that their employees can receive benefits in the case of a work-related injury or illness. Construction companies are the exception, as they’re mandated to provide workers’ compensation even if they only have one employee.
Because workers’ comp operates under a “no-fault” system, an individual doesn’t have to prove fault to receive benefits. This ideally means they can receive compensation more quickly than in a personal injury case.
No-fault has some downsides, particularly because it prevents an employee from filing a traditional injury claim against their employer. However, if your on-the-job injury was caused by a third party, like another contractor or driver, when you were operating a company vehicle, you may be able to file a claim against the at-fault person or business. Some damages, like pain and suffering, aren’t available in workers’ comp claims but are available in third-party claims.
Why Should You Consider Hiring an Attorney for a Workers’ Compensation Case?
Although filing a workers’ compensation claim may seem straightforward, the process can quickly become complicated, as insurance companies may try to minimize your benefits. The experienced workers’ compensation attorneys at our Hollywood firm have years of experience navigating the complicated legal landscape and will work hard to protect your rights. We’ll strengthen your claim with a strong backing of evidence, including thorough medical records, witness statements, photos, videos, employee contracts and more.
Even if your claim is initially denied, we won’t give up – we’ll help you appeal the decision and advocate for your rights to be recognized in court if necessary.

Common Types of Workers’ Comp Injuries
Slips, Trips and Falls
Slip and fall accidents are among the most frequent causes of workers’ compensation claims. Wet floors, uneven surfaces and poorly maintained walkways can lead to severe injuries, including broken bones, sprains and head trauma.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
Typing, using vibrating tools, lifting heavy objects repeatedly and other repetitive motions day in and day out can result in injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and bursitis.
Strains and Sprains
Employees engaging in physically demanding jobs where they lift heavy objects and overexert their muscles – including construction workers and warehouse staff – can suffer strains and sprains, incurring substantial medical expenses and lost wages.
Vehicle Accidents
Employees who operate vehicles as part of their job, such as truck drivers, delivery personnel and even sales representatives, risk getting in accidents on the road and sustaining whiplash, fractures and traumatic brain injuries.
Workplace Violence
Employees may be assaulted by customers, patients or coworkers in the workplace. The risk is particularly high for those who work in retail stores, healthcare facilities and public service sectors.
Machinery Accidents
Workers who operate heavy machinery and equipment in industries like manufacturing and construction are at risk of crush injuries, amputations and severe burns.
