Miramar Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Rosenberg & Rosenberg Fights for Workplace Injury Victims in Miramar

We founded our law firm on a desire to help people, a love for the communities we serve, and hard work. No matter what difficulties you and your family face, our Miramar workers’ compensation lawyers are here to protect your claim for workers’ compensation and help you get back on your feet.

Rosenberg & Rosenberg employs a diverse team of lawyers from all backgrounds and walks of life. We want to understand what you are going through and help you find creative and customized legal solutions. When you work with us, we do everything possible to achieve a successful case outcome. Our Miramar lawyers can:

• Investigate your claim. Workers’ comp is no-fault insurance, meaning you do not have to prove a liable party caused your injury to collect benefits. You only need to establish that your injury happened in the workplace, that you required medical treatment, and that you are unable to work while you heal (if applicable). To support your claim, our legal team can collect evidence, including medical records, incident reports, and eyewitness and expert testimony.
• Manage your case. Our work injury lawyers can draft and file insurance claims and paperwork, track and meet deadlines, communicate with involved parties, and handle any other case details.
• Be your advocate and ally. Insurance companies look out for their profits, not the best interests of claimants. We stand up for you. Our attorneys in Miramar tirelessly negotiate for the maximum compensation possible and push back against tactics aimed at reducing, denying, delaying, or prematurely discontinuing your benefits.

Our Miramar Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Pursue Full and Fair Benefits

Rosenberg & Rosenberg fights to ensure you receive the insurance coverage you deserve. There are several types of benefits our Miramar workers’ compensation lawyers can help you pursue after a workplace injury, including:

Medical Benefits for Work-Related Injuries

Workers’ comp insurance should pay for medical treatment until you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI), as long as you obtain services from a healthcare provider authorized by your plan. Coverage includes all reasonable and necessary costs, including:

• Emergency treatment
• Diagnostic testing
• Hospitalizations
• Doctor visits
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy
• Prosthetics and mobility aids
• Medical travel expenses

Compensation for Lost Wages

According to Florida’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), you can seek wage replacement benefits if your injury prevents you from working for seven days or longer. The amount and duration of your benefits will depend on the severity of your injury and how it affects your work capabilities:

• Cannot work – If you are unable to work at all while you recover, our Miramar lawyers can seek temporary total disability benefits (TTD) for up to 104 weeks. TTD payments are 66 2/3 percent of your average wages pre-injury, subject to statewide caps.
• Can work with restrictions – If the doctor releases you to work with restrictions, you can continue to receive temporary partial disability (TPD) benefits if you cannot earn at least 80 percent of your pre-injury wage. TPD payments can also last up to 104 weeks.
• At MMI with an impairment rating – If you have reached MMI and have a permanent impairment, you will receive a disability rating. Any rating over 0 percent entitles you to impairment income benefits (IIB). How much you receive and for how long depends on your rating.
• Can never work again – Severe, permanent, and catastrophic injuries may qualify workers for permanent total disability (PTD) benefits, according to Florida Statutes § 440.15. In this case, our workers’ comp law firm can pursue two-thirds of your average pre-injury weekly wage, which you can continue to draw until you turn 75.

Vocational Benefits for Catastrophically Injured Workers

If your injuries force you to change careers and enter another line of work, you can obtain reemployment services. You can access vocational counseling, on-the-job training, formal retraining, job skills analysis, and job placement assistance.

Death Benefits for the Families of Deceased Workers

If your loved one died because of a work injury, workers’ compensation will pay qualifying survivors up to $150,000 in death benefits. Coverage provides up to $7,500 in funeral and burial expenses, wage replacement benefits for dependents, and educational benefits for spouses.

Reasons the Insurance Company May Deny Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

There are many reasons workers’ compensation claims get delayed, denied, or underpaid, including:

• You did not report your injury to your employer
• Your employer did not report your claim to the insurance company
• You did not see an approved healthcare provider
• You received an inaccurate diagnosis
• You made clerical errors or did not submit the necessary paperwork and documentation with your claim
• The insurance company alleges your injury is not work-related
• The insurance company accuses you of intentionally causing your injury or violating a safety policy
• The insurance company believes you were intoxicated or under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident

Our Miramar workers’ compensation lawyers can appeal if the insurance company unfairly denies your workers’ compensation claim or refuses to pay full and fair benefits. We bolster your claim with additional evidence and represent you throughout the appeals process.

Our Miramar Workers’ Compensation Attorneys Handle All Types of Accidents and Injuries

• Falls from heights

Frequently Asked Questions About Workers’ Compensation in Miramar, Florida

Rosenberg & Rosenberg has answers to your workers’ comp FAQs:

Are You Covered by Workers’ Compensation?

Most employees in Florida have workers’ compensation through their employer, though coverage requirements vary based on the type of industry and the number of employees. Coverage usually starts on day one of your employment.

How Long Do You Have to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim?

Florida Statutes § 440.185 states that you must notify your employer about your workers’ compensation claim within 30 days of when it occurred. You may be ineligible for benefits if you do not tell your employer within the deadline.

After you inform your employer, they have seven days to report the injury to the insurance company.

Can You Sue Your Employer for a Workplace Injury?

You usually cannot sue your employer if your workplace is insured by workers’ compensation. You can pursue a negligence-based personal injury claim against a liable third party if their actions caused your accident. Our Miramar workers’ compensation attorneys can help you explore your legal options.
