The place you work can be dangerous. There are hazards lurking at every corner. Mistakes can happen, such as an accident because of an unsecured ladder, in the blink of an eye. Maybe tools or other items are strewn about, and someone trips and gets hurt. Or maybe the company has overlooked and failed to fix a hazard.
It is not uncommon to see injured workers attempt to get workers comp benefits. It’s something we’ve seen over and over again over the years, along with personal injury cases.
We’re here to help you find the right lawyer and law firm to handle your case.
If you’re hurt on the job:
- if needed, get immediate medical care
- share with your boss or supervisor details about the accident
- take photos of the accident, and take notes about everything that happened
- contact us
- submit a claim through worker’s comp
Keep in mind, your employer, according to Florida’s laws, cannot fire you for being unable to do your job because of injuries related to your accident.
You should talk to your attorney before paying any hospital bills – your company’s insurance provider usually pays for all preapproved hospital bills.
