Who oversees disputes under workers' compensation in Florida?

The judge of compensation claims ultimately oversees disputes at the trial level in a workers' compensation case. If you go to court and you try your case and receive a trial order from the judge of compensation claims, you do have the right if you are not successful to pursue the claim through the appellate legal process. Under workers' compensation law in Florida, all appellate cases go through the first district court of appeal which is in Tallahassee, Florida.
