Your Rights After a Factory Injury in Florida
Suffering an injury on the job can leave you with more questions than answers, especially when you’re worried about your health, income, and long-term future. Fortunately, Florida law provides protections for injured factory workers through workers’ compensation and, in some cases, additional third-party claims. Understanding your rights is the first step toward securing the support you need to recover. At Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A., our team is here to walk you through your options with care and clarity, helping you access the benefits and resources you’re entitled to under state law.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits
After a factory injury, many workers are unsure of what support they’re entitled to or how to access it. In Florida, workers’ compensation laws are designed to provide financial relief and medical care for those hurt on the job. These benefits are in place to help you recover without the added burden of lost income or expensive treatment. At Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A., our attorneys can help ensure you receive the full range of benefits you’re entitled to under the law. We’re here to guide you every step of the way so you can focus on healing.
Florida law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to benefits such as:
- Full coverage for medical treatment and prescriptions
- Partial wage replacement while you’re unable to work
- Temporary or permanent disability payments
- Vocational training or job placement assistance if you can’t return to your old role
When a Third-Party Claim Might Apply
While workers’ compensation covers many injuries that occur on the job, it may not always be your only path to recovery. In some cases, a third party, someone other than your employer, may be partially or fully responsible for your factory injury. These situations may open the door to additional compensation beyond what workers’ comp provides. At Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A., our experienced team will carefully review the circumstances of your accident to determine whether a third-party claim is appropriate. Our goal is to explore every option available to ensure you receive the support and compensation you truly deserve.
In addition to workers’ comp, you may be able to pursue a separate claim if:
- Your injury was caused by defective equipment (product liability)
- A vendor, contractor, or third party contributed to the unsafe conditions
An experienced factory injury attorney at Rosenberg & Rosenberg will evaluate your situation and explain every option available to help pursue the full compensation you may be entitled to.

Understanding the Statute of Limitations in Florida
If you’ve been injured while working in a factory, it’s important to act quickly—not just for your health, but for your legal rights. In Florida, workers’ compensation claims generally must be filed within two years from the date of the injury. That may seem like plenty of time, but many injured workers are surprised at how quickly those months can slip by, especially when dealing with medical appointments, lost income, or family responsibilities.
The statute of limitations is a strict legal deadline. Missing it can result in your claim being denied entirely. It also affects your ability to file third-party personal injury claims, which may have different or shorter deadlines depending on the type of case and who’s involved.
At Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A., we understand how overwhelming the aftermath of a workplace injury can be.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) with a Factory Work Injury Attorney
Do I need a lawyer for a factory work injury?
While not legally required, having an experienced factory injury attorney can significantly improve your chances of receiving full benefits and protecting your rights. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, and a lawyer ensures you’re treated fairly throughout the process.
What if I already started a workers’ compensation claim?
You can still speak with a lawyer at any point in the process. In fact, it’s common for workers to seek help after experiencing delays, confusion, or denials. Our team can step in and take over communication, documentation, and appeals.

We work on a contingency-fee basis. That means you pay nothing unless we win compensation for you. There are no upfront costs or hidden fees. Your first consultation is always free.
Can I sue my employer for my factory injury?
In most cases, Florida law prevents employees from suing their employers directly. However, if a third party (like a contractor or equipment manufacturer) contributed to your injury, you may be eligible to file a separate personal injury claim.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Florida generally allows two years to file a workers’ compensation claim. Third-party lawsuits may have different deadlines. Contact our firm as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss your opportunity for recovery.
