If an employee is injured in your workplace, the employer must address the employee’s injury by filing a First Report of Injury and cooperating with its Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier or third party administrator (TPA). It is important that you cooperate with the insurance carrier/TPA investigation and your assigned attorney even if you suspect employee fraud. It is also prudent that the employer/carrier/servicing agent refrain from terminating the employee until an employment law defense attorney properly addresses the issue, because it is illegal for an employer to discharge, threaten to discharge, intimidate, or coerce any employee by reason of such employee’s valid claim for compensation, or attempt to claim compensation under the Workers’ Compensation Law, §440.205, F.S.
Whether you have a Workers’ Compensation insurance policy with a carrier or are self-insured, if the case is litigated you may be required to appear before a Judge of Compensation Claims in your District, who will hear your case should it ultimately go to a final hearing, i.e., trial, and determine the appropriate benefits due to the claimant, if any.
