Assisting Clients With All Types of Accidents and Injuries
Almost every job carries some risk of injury, particularly when physical labor is involved. Workplace accidents can cause injuries ranging from broken bones and joint injuries in falls to carpal tunnel syndrome and herniated disks caused by repetitive stress.
The workers' compensation system covers all types of workplace injuries. Some of the most common types of accidents in our region are:
- Construction accidents
- Delivery truck accidents
- Amusement park accidents
- Factory accidents
- Warehouse accidents
- Orange harvest accidents
If you've been injured at work, you will need to report your injury to your employer in order to qualify for workers' compensation. You may also need to see a doctor chosen by your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier.
Standing Up for Your Rights, Pursuing Positive Results
If your employer is refusing to provide you with medical treatment, or if their doctor says you are able to work when you believe you are unable to do so, our attorneys may be able to help.
Even if you have been fired or laid off since your accident, you are still eligible for workers' compensation. Furthermore, it is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees who file claims, and they may be required to assign you to lighter work if it is available.
Don't hesitate to contact Fiol & Gomez to learn more about your rights under the Florida workers' compensation system and what a workers' compensation lawyer can do to help you assert those rights.
