Q: What should I do if I am injured on-the-job in Florida?

When you suffer a job-related injury, the most important thing that you should do initially is to report that injury to your employer. Oftentimes, injured workers become concerned with whether or not this could potentially compromise their entitlement to remain eligible to work. What I'm here to tell you is, you really have to cast those concerns to the side and focus on what it is that you can control. If you do not report that injury within 30 days of its existence, you may prejudice yourself from being able to pursue a valid claim under workers' compensation.

After that you need to get educated, whether you do that by seeking out the council of workers compensation attorney or going online learning it yourself. You're going to need to know what your rights are, because the insurance company does this every day all day. They know what their rights are and they know what your rights are, and you need to be protected as well.
