MIAMI, FL, May 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) In Florida, workers compensation is the system that was designed to compensate workers injured on the job no matter who is at fault. The statute entitles the injured worker to loss wages and medical benefits for injuries in the course and scope of employment.
There are some exceptions, one of which is in the complete control of of the employee. That is the worker must report the injury or accident within 30 days. Failing to do so will allow the employer to deny medical care and loss wages, with only few exceptions.The employer is required to complete a first report of injury once the employee reports the accident/injury.
An employee should also insist that the employer directs him/her to medical care for the injuries.
Many people are afraid to report their injuries for fear of losing their jobs. In Florida, there are legal protections that allow a worker to sue and employer for termination due to reporting an on the job accident/injury. Also, our office has seen many instances where an employee who fails to report an injury is later terminated and left without employment and workers compensation benefits. Keep in mind that workers compensation benefits generally continue even if no longer with the employer (with some exception as to loss wages).
If you or a loved one has been injured at work, speak to a workers compensation lawyer about your legal rights and how to best protect them.
Workers compensation lawyer Ruth E. Johnson has helped hundreds of individuals injured on the job pursue their workers compensation benefits. Call at 305 720 2086 for a free consultation.
