Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Workers in physically demanding jobs in Florida, particularly those suffering from overexertion or repetitive stress injuries, benefit from workers' compensation. These injuries often lead to long recovery periods, medical treatments, and lost wages. Workers' compensation provides financial support during recovery, covering medical expenses, therapy, and lost income, enabling injured employees to focus on their recovery without the added stress of financial burdens.
• Consequences Without Representation: Without legal representation, dealing with Florida's workers' compensation laws, especially for overexertion and overuse injuries, can be difficult. According to §95.11(3)(a) of the Florida Statutes, you have four years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This period applies to injuries caused by repetitive stress or overexertion that may not show immediate symptoms but worsen over time. Insurance companies may challenge the severity or validity of an injury to reduce compensation, making it essential to have proper legal support. Having a skilled attorney ensures the claim is handled correctly, supports accurate paperwork, and counters any insurance company tactics, helping secure fair compensation during recovery.
