It is no secret that some industries are inherently more dangerous to work in than others. In Florida, some of the most hazardous lines of work involve construction, farming, commercial driving, manufacturing, and groundskeeping, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If, however, you have a pre-existing condition, just about any job can be dangerous.
No matter what you do for a living, accidents happen. If you have been injured on the job, it is essential to be aware of your legal rights and obligations. You may be eligible for benefits to manage your medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages.
However, your claim could be more complex if you have a pre-existing condition. That’s where a Treasure Coast workers’ compensation lawyer from Hoskins Turco Lloyd & Lloyd can help.
