If your employer doesn’t have workers’ compensation insurance, you might still be able to sue them for damages directly. Also, some states have funds set aside to help workers hurt at uninsured companies. Knowing what to do in such situations can be confusing, but a Florida workers’ compensation attorney can lay out all your options.
You can appeal the decision if your employer’s insurance company denies your claim. A Florida workers’ compensation lawyer can walk you through the appeals process, including filing a petition with the Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation.
Florida’s workers’ compensation law may still cover you if you have a pre-existing condition worsened by a workplace accident. For example, if you had existing back pain and a work-related incident intensified it, you may qualify for benefits for the aggravation of your condition.
The value of your workers’ compensation claim depends on several factors, like the type of injury, how bad your injuries are, your medical costs, if you suffered a permanent disability, lost wages, and whether you can return to work. Every case is different, but a lawyer can help you figure out your claim’s correct value.
Please remember, the above responses are general in nature, and the specifics of your situation may be different. Always consult with a legal professional to get advice tailored to your unique circumstances.
