Orlando is a global leader in travel and tourism, and its hospitality industry is one of the largest in the country. From theme parks and resorts to restaurants, hotels, and event venues, thousands of workers power the city’s entertainment-driven economy. While these jobs keep Orlando running, they also come with a high risk of work-related injuries due to the fast-paced and physically demanding nature of the work.
Workers in this sector often face long shifts, high foot traffic, unpredictable environments, and frequent exposure to heat, heavy lifting, cleaning chemicals, or large crowds. These conditions can increase the likelihood of on-the-job accidents, especially when safety protocols are not followed or when work is performed under pressure.
Our firm assists hospitality and tourism workers who have suffered a wide range of job-related injuries. We help with claims involving:
Our legal team understands how injuries can impact workers who often rely on hourly wages and may hesitate to report an incident. We guide clients through each step of the workers’ compensation process and help them pursue medical care and wage benefits they may be entitled to under Florida law.
Whether you were injured working in a large theme park, a boutique hotel, a banquet hall, or a restaurant, you do not have to face the process alone. We offer experienced legal support with the convenience of remote consultations, so you can focus on healing while we handle the paperwork and legal filings.

Florida’s workers’ compensation laws are in place to provide medical care and financial support for employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. In a fast-growing city like Orlando, where workers serve in a variety of physically demanding roles across tourism, construction, healthcare, and retail, injuries on the job are unfortunately common.
Our firm represents individuals with many types of workplace injuries, from sudden accidents to conditions that develop over time. If your injury occurred while performing tasks within the scope of your employment, you may be entitled to benefits regardless of who was at fault.
Here are some of the most common types of injuries that may be covered under Florida’s workers’ compensation system:
Injuries may be visible and immediate, or they may develop gradually and worsen over time. You do not need to prove fault to file a claim, but you must show that your condition arose out of and during the course of your employment. That includes both sudden accidents and repetitive trauma caused by work duties.
Florida law requires that you report your injury in a timely manner and seek care from an authorized medical provider. If you delay reporting or do not follow medical instructions, your ability to receive benefits may be impacted. Our legal team can help guide you through these steps and ensure your claim is properly documented.
If you believe your work caused or contributed to your injury, it is important to speak with a workers’ compensation attorney as soon as possible. We can review your medical history, job duties, and available evidence to help determine whether you have a valid claim.
If you were hurt while performing your job duties, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits that are intended to cover medical care, replace lost wages, and help you return to work when possible. Florida law outlines the types of benefits available to injured workers, including medical treatment, wage replacement, and vocational services. You can learn more about how these benefits are structured by visiting the Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation.
Insurance companies do not always explain the full range of benefits that may apply. Our legal team helps injured workers understand their rights and pursue the compensation they are entitled to under Florida law.
Depending on the details of your claim, you may qualify for one or more of the following:
It is important to follow all required procedures, such as reporting your injury on time and seeking care from an authorized provider. Even small mistakes or delays can affect your eligibility for benefits.
Our attorneys are experienced in helping injured workers build strong claims, gather medical documentation, and challenge unfair denials or benefit reductions. We work to ensure you receive the full support available under Florida’s workers’ compensation laws.
If you have questions about what benefits may apply in your case, or if your payments were reduced or cut off, we are available to review your situation and provide guidance on your next steps.
Filing a workers’ compensation claim in Florida involves several important steps that must be followed carefully to avoid delays or denials. Whether you were injured in a construction accident, a hospitality-related incident, or while working in any other Orlando industry, understanding the claims process can help you protect your right to benefits.
Each step plays a critical role in determining whether your claim will be approved and how soon you begin receiving medical care or wage replacement. Even one missed deadline or a small procedural error can have a major impact on your claim, which is why having experienced legal guidance can make a difference.
Here is a general overview of how the process typically works in Orlando and throughout the state of Florida:
The first step is to notify your employer about the injury. Florida law requires injured workers to report workplace accidents or job-related health conditions within 30 days of the incident or from when symptoms first become apparent. Failing to report your injury within this time frame can result in a denial of benefits.
It is recommended to report the injury in writing whenever possible and include the date, time, and location of the incident. Be clear about what happened and what part of your body was affected.
In Florida, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier is responsible for directing your medical treatment. You must seek care from an authorized provider selected by the insurance company in order for treatment to be covered.
Do not assume that visiting your personal physician will qualify for coverage. Be sure to follow the medical provider’s instructions and attend all follow-up appointments. The records from these visits will be used to determine your eligibility for benefits and whether you are cleared to return to work.
From the moment your treatment begins, it is essential to document your recovery process. Keep a record of all medical visits, medications, work restrictions, out-of-pocket expenses, and any changes in your physical condition.
If the insurance company disputes your claim or questions your level of disability, thorough documentation can help support your position. This also includes keeping notes about missed workdays and communications with your employer or the insurance adjuster.
In some cases, the insurance carrier may deny your claim outright or delay important benefits such as medical treatment or wage payments. If this happens, you have the right to file a Petition for Benefits through the Florida Office of the Judges of Compensation Claims.
An experienced workers’ compensation attorney can represent you throughout this process by:
Legal representation is especially important if your injury prevents you from returning to work or if your benefits have been reduced unexpectedly.

Do I need to prove that someone else caused the accident?
No. Florida’s workers’ compensation system is no fault. You only need to show that your injury happened while you were performing work-related duties.
Can I choose my own doctor?
In most cases, your care must come from a medical provider authorized by your employer’s insurance carrier. If you are unhappy with your assigned doctor, there may be options to request a change.
What if my claim is denied?
You have the right to dispute a denial. Our attorneys can gather medical evidence, file legal documents, and represent you throughout the dispute process.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
