You can face several road bumps when trying to secure workers’ compensation. Sometimes an employer may dispute your claim, the insurance company flat out denies your claim, or you’re offered an inadequate settlement.
A Florida workers’ compensation lawyer will ensure you are treated fairly and receive the full benefits you’re entitled to. Here’s why:
Interpreting Complex Medical Records: These cases often deal with confusing medical documentation. A lawyer can accurately review these, ensuring they reflect the full extent of your injuries.

Negotiation Skills: You don’t want to waste your precious time going back and forth with an insurance company. However, our team is ready to present your case strategically and handle all discussions.

The Werner & Hoffman Law Firm provided excellent service for my father, a Vietnam era veteran, who was injured during his service career. Our assigned paralegal, Melissa Medina, was amazing throughout the process. She always kept us updated on status and explained answers to all of our questions. Our assigned attorney, Chris Stratton, did an amazing job. We would have never been able to navigate the complicated VA paperwork process without him. Overall, the Werner & Hoffman Law Firm got my father from a 30% disability rating all the way to a 100% permanent disability rating over the course of three years and my father finally has the well deserved compensation that he deserves. I highly recommend giving them a chance you won’t be disappointed.
I had to wait a month before I posted my review of Werner, Hoffman, Greig, Garcia, and most of all Heather Hartley, to make sure it wasn't a dream. I am still in shock of what she was able to accomplish so efficiently and quickly, after I had been working on it for so long. Her argument with the higher level reviewer took me to 100%, she congratulated me and noticed that one of the dates where wrong. Her attention to details and the empathy and compassion she showed for myself and my family will never be forgotten. I have already referred my son in law to her, and if anyone ever asks me for a excellent attorney, there is no question who I will refer them to. again, Thank You Heather!
I had an excellent experience working with Alyssa and David to secure my VA benefits. From the start, Alyssa was extremely knowledgable and organized, walking me through the entire process with clarity and care. She swiftly answered all of my inquiries and ensured that all of my documentation was in place. David's legal experience made a significant difference and he thoroughly reviewed my case and offered helpful comments. His commitment to working for veterans is clear, and I felt confident knowing he was on my side. They worked together to simplify and manage what could have been a daunting task. I successfully earned my benefits as a result of their hard effort. I definitely recommend Alyssa and David to anyone looking for help!!
Your firm is amazing. It is definitely better having attorneys fighting on your behalf. I truly appreciate your firm. Werner, Hoffman, Greg and Garcia, I will definitely recommend other veterans to you for assistance. Thank you. 10% to 100% just wow.
As a veteran I had been fighting the VA for over a decade being constantly denied service connection. Once I hired Werner and Hoffman to represent me everything changed. They took over the fight and it was a huge stress relief immediately. Very quickly they were able to get me service connected for my injuries. But they didn’t stop there, they kept fighting and I recently received my 100% rating. I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work. I would like to give a special shout out to my paralegal Melissa, she was always quick to respond and answer any questions or concerns. As a firm they care about the veterans they are helping and it shows. I have referred a lot of friends to them and will continue to do so.

Navigating through filing a claim can be challenging, but the experienced team at Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia is here to provide the guidance and support you need during this complex legal process.
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 time it takes to resolve your car accident case depends on its complexity and whether we can reach a fair settlement early on. Simple cases may wrap up faster, while more intricate ones or those that go to trial could take longer. But we will move your case forward efficiently and keep you updated every step of the way.
