When an injury occurs, there are two questions that enter every person’s mind:

Who is going to pay for all my medical bills?

How will I receive compensation (lost wages) so that I can pay my bills?

These two questions are just the beginning of a long line of questions that you will ask yourself after getting injured on the job.

In workers’ compensation, each case is determined by a single Judge, so it is extremely important to have an attorney that is not only familiar with workers’ compensation law but an attorney who has ample experience and knowledge to advise you properly about the trial Judge.

Settling workers’ compensation can be straightforward with the right attorney and knowing what you are legally entitled to. Here are some important things to know when dealing with workers’ compensation in Florida:

• The statute of limitations is 30 days for a work-related injury or illness
• Once your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company is informed of the work-related injury and has determined that the injury or illness is covered by the law, the company should provide: An authorized physician, Payment for all authorized medically necessary care and treatment, One-time change in physician (within 5 business days)
