If you’ve suffered an injury on the job or developed an illness because of your work, you’re probably entitled to workers’ comp benefits in Florida. However, you won’t be automatically granted benefits. You need to follow the right steps in reporting your injury or illness and officially starting the workers’ compensation process.
Remember, your employer purchases workers’ compensation insurance so the process is similar to that of any other application for insurance benefits. If you’ve run into trouble in getting the benefits you deserve, you should consult a Florida workers’ comp attorney for advice.
