The Florida Workers' Compensation law was designed to protect employees injured on the job, regardless of fault. The Florida Workers' Compensation law is complicated and confusing. The statute and procedures are subject to change at any time. The Florida Workers' Compensation law underwent changes in 1990, 1993, and most recently underwent major changes in October 2003. The date of injury determines which law applies to substantive issues. At Rodrigues & Mayes, LLC we are knowledgeable with the different laws and understand how and when they apply to individual cases.
Employers with four or more employees are required to have workers compensation insurance for their employees. The law requires the workers compensation carrier to provide you with reasonable and necessary medical care, which may include office visits, diagnostic testing, medication and mileage reimbursement. The law has very specific guidelines about where and how you can obtain this treatment. The law also has specific guidelines as to how your money benefits are calculated, when you are entitled to money benefits, and when the insurance carrier no longer has to pay you.
Injured employees contact an attorney for different reasons, to include:
The employer or carrier is denying the employee was injured on the job
The employer or carrier is failing to provide medical or money benefits
The employee is not happy with the medical treatment provided
The employee has sustained permanent disabling injuries and has
concerns about retraining, future medical care and/or future money
benefits
