Kissimmee Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Kissimmee Workers’ Compensation Attorney Firm Securing Compensation for clients Injured in Kissimmee and surrounding areas. Were you injured on the job in Kissimmee? You should know that you may be entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits. Under Florida law (Chapter 44 of the Florida Statutes), most employers are required to have workers’ compensation coverage in order to provide benefits to any workers who get hurt in the course of their employment. More specifically, workers’ compensation is a program that provides disability and medical benefits to injured workers. Getting hurt at work can be devastating. Your injury may prevent you from returning to work for weeks or months, and sometimes workplace injuries are so severe that they result in permanent disabilities. To learn more about filing a claim, you should speak with a Kissimmee workers’ compensation lawyer at the Benenati Law Firm. Types of Kissimmee Workers’ Compensation Benefits Generally speaking, Florida workers’ compensation law provides injured workers with two different types of benefits: Medical benefits; and Wage replacement benefits. Medical Benefits In Kissimmee Once you report your workplace injury or illness to your employer, the employer must do the following for you: Provide you with information about authorized physician; Pay for you to visit an authorized physician and to receive medically necessary care and treatment; and Provide you with a one-time change of physician within five business days once you make the request in writing. Types of authorized medically necessary care and treatment include: Visits to the doctor; Hospitalization; Physical therapy; Medical tests; Prescription drugs; Prostheses; and Travel expenses related to your medical care.

If you cannot work, or must work in a position at a lower rate due to your injury, you may be eligible to receive: Temporary Total Benefits; Temporary Partial Benefits; Permanent Impairment Benefits; or Permanent Total Benefits. Wage replacement benefits typically begin on the eighth day of the worker’s partial or total disability. When workplace injuries result in the worker’s death, the family may be able to receive death benefits. Statute Of Limitations For Your Kissimmee Workers’ Compensation Claim There are two separate timetables to keep in mind: reporting your injury and filing your claim for workers’ compensation benefits. Injured workers have 30 days to report the injury or illness to their employer. If you fail to report your injury to your employer within 30 days from the date of the accident, you may lose your workers’ compensation eligibility. Workers’ compensation claims typically must be filed within two years from the date of the injury or illness. Even if you file your claim within this time window, however, and you failed to report the injury within 30 days, you may be denied benefits.

I was provided with frequent updates as to how my case was progressing and was pleasantly surprised with the speed at which they were able to reach a substantial settlement.
