Accidents happen, at home or in the workplace, and often we shrug them off and move forward. But, if you are involved in an accident at work that has a direct effect on your quality of life, you should not feel that you have to suffer in silence.
Living with pain is difficult enough, but if you have to stop working and suffer a loss of wages as a result, the additional mental anguish this causes just adds insult to injury. Here at the Law Offices of Ala Alikhani, P.A., we want you to understand that in most cases you DO have rights to claim compensation. You should also be able to access all of the medication and medical services you require to effectively manage any pain, as well as some form of income while you are out of work.
In Florida, Workers’ Compensation Insurance will take care of all of any necessary medical care related to any injury or illness that occurred at work. This could include:
- visits to an approved doctor
- surgery
- hospital care
- dental care
- prescription drugs
- medical supplies
In order to be able to access the assistance you are entitled to, you need the guidance of a first-class attorney who specializes in providing reliable and relatable advice for anyone who has suffered at the hands of their employer.
You may also be entitled to receive some cash benefits (indemnity benefits) if you suffer a loss of earnings as a result of work-related illness or injury. You may be eligible for these benefits if you have been out of work on the advice of your approved doctor, or you are still able to work, but because of your injury, you will earn less than 80% of what you earn in full health. There are also entitlements if your doctor says you will have a permanent loss of a bodily function as a direct result of your work-related injury.
Don’t Suffer In Silence, Call the Law Offices of Ala Alikhani, P.A. Today
In order to qualify for your entitlement, you must report your job-related injury or illness to your supervisor as soon as possible, then find a doctor chosen by your employer or your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier.
While that may sound straightforward on paper, the reality is that the Florida Workers Compensation law is extremely complex. Here at the Law Offices of Ala Alikhani, P.A, we are Boca Raton and South Florida’s Premier Workers Compensation Attorney at Law.
