When you get hurt or sick because of your job, you should not have to shoulder the financial burden of paying for your care and dealing with income losses. Understanding this, Florida lawmakers made workers’ compensation insurance coverage mandatory for most employers in the state. This includes:
If your employer is required to provide coverage, you should have access to workers’ compensation benefits if you are injured or become ill and a doctor determines that it is “work-related.” In Florida, workers’ compensation provides:

Florida law bars workers from suing their employers for injuries suffered in an on-the-job accident. This is the purpose of workers’ compensation. However, the employer is not the only party whose negligence could contribute to or cause injuries. When a third party’s negligence causes an accident, you have a right to hold them legally responsible.
In this context, a third party is anyone or any entity that is not your employer or a co-worker. Depending on the circumstances that led to your injuries, this could be almost anyone. Some common examples include:
You can recover damages in a third-party claim or lawsuit in addition to receiving workers’ compensation benefits. However, each legal action covers different expenses and losses. When you hold a third party accountable, your payout could cover:
Not all injured workers will qualify to file a third-party case. Our workers’ compensation attorneys in Margate can assess your case and determine your options. A free, confidential consultation with our team is the best way to learn more about your next steps.
How quickly you need to act to protect your right to pursue benefits depends greatly on the circumstances. Each step of the workers’ compensation process has its own timeline you must follow. Our attorneys know how this process works and can ensure you meet the deadlines when possible.
Your workers’ compensation claim process begins when you fill out the paperwork to file your official accident report. According to Florida’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), you must get medical care and notify your employer of the injury as soon as possible. You must formally notify your company of a workplace injury or illness within 30 days.
Your employer should contact the workers’ compensation insurer and move forward with the claim. If they do not, you have up to two years to file the claim yourself.
If the insurer requests more information or denies the claim, you only have a short window to respond. Our work injury attorneys can help you file your appeal and prove to a judge that you deserve compensation.
Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, victims and their families have two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Missing this deadline could bar you from ever taking the case to trial and make it difficult or impossible to negotiate a fair settlement.
Do not risk your family’s future: let the Margate workers’ compensation attorneys at Rosenberg & Rosenberg advocate for you from the beginning of your case to the very end.
