    Don’t Fall for These Common Workers’ Comp Myths

    myth

    You can be fired for filing workers’ compensation.

    facts

    Not true! Florida law prohibits employers from terminating workers for filing for workers’ compensation benefits. Employers who dismiss workers for claiming benefits are breaking the law.

    myth

    Only single-event injuries qualify for workers’ compensation.

    facts

    Not true! Many workers suffer back injuries from repetitive strain, often resulting from regularly lifting heavy loads or performing repetitive motions at work. These repetitive strain injuries are eligible for workers’ comp. Factory workers, warehouse workers, truck drivers, and construction workers are just a few examples of employees at risk of repetitive strain injuries.

    myth

    Employers may choose not to carry workers’ comp insurance.

    facts

    Not true! Florida law requires construction employers with at least one employee, including the business owner, to maintain workers’ compensation coverage. Non-construction employers with at least four employees must also carry workers’ compensation. Chances are, your employer has workers’ comp insurance.

    myth

    I had to tell my employer about my injury the same day it happened.

    facts

    Not true! You have 30 days to notify your employer of an injury at work. If you haven’t notified your employer yet but it’s still within 30 days, you still have time. But act quickly. Missing that deadline can jeopardize your ability to collect workers’ comp benefits.
