Workers' Compensation Attorney in West Palm Beach

The consequences of a workplace injury can range from a simple problem leading to treatment bills with no loss of work, to a partial disability necessitating in-patient and outpatient treatment plus missed hours at work, and, in the most serious cases, to a permanent disability causing lasting changes to your life and career. Workers’ Compensation insurance is designed to provide financial relief to compensate employees for workplace injuries.

Even a traditionally non-hazardous job can lead to injuries, including:

• Overexertion: Jobs that force you to work beyond your physical capabilities, or for more hours than reasonably expected, could lead to serious conditions including joint, neck, and back injuries, and hernias.
• Slip and Fall: If your workplace includes obstructions or slippery surfaces, you are in danger of falling and sustaining injuries such as broken bones, strains, and concussions.
• Repetitive motion injuries: The cumulative stress of your job can lead to serious injuries including carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, and persistent pain.
• Hazardous materials: Jobs that involve exposure to hazardous substances, including carcinogens, toxic chemicals, and other irritants, must operate under strict safety standards. Your employer is supposed to protect you, but some do not live up to this responsibility.
• Struck-by-Object incidents: If an object falls, slides, rolls, swings, or flies at you while at your workplace, you could sustain serious physical harm.

Even if you had an existing problem, if more than 50% of a disability is attributable to a workplace injury, you may be eligible for Workers’ Compensation. And, if you’ve sustained an injury due to the actions of a third-party, you may be able to pursue a separate claim.

• Medical expenses: All treatment, including hospital costs, medications, and outpatient services.
• Lost wages: Compensation for missing time at work or losing the ability to work.
• Job retention: Florida employers are not permitted to fire you because you’ve filed a Workers’ Compensation claim—which doesn’t mean some won’t try.
• Job retraining: If your injury makes it impossible to continue in your job, you may be assisted in finding another position or career.
• Pain and suffering: This can include emotional trauma and lasting mental health difficulties.
• Wrongful death
