Claiming Workers Compensation in Pompano Beach

When an injury occurs during your employment or at work, this is considered a workers’ compensation injury. Thankfully, under workers’ compensation law, you are eligible for some sort of compensation no matter who was at fault. Most workers have the right to seek compensation through their employers’ insurance company. Seeking legal advice from an attorney and consulting with a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you fight for the compensation you are eligible to receive.

At LJW Legal, our legal team will strategize an aggressive legal plan to help injured workers recover the full amount of workers’ compensation benefits they are entitled to receive by law. Call today for a free case consultation at 954-597-6770.

Workers’ Compensation in Florida

Employers in Florida are mandated by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Thus, workers have a right to seek compensation for work-related injuries, which range from:

  • Back and Neck Pain
  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Burns
  • Vision Loss
  • And More

However, the amount an injured worker can obtain through a workers’ compensation claim varies greatly, and no case is equal. Our law firm will work with you and your doctors to understand the extent of your injuries. The severity of your injuries will also affect if you are entitled to workers comp benefits including permanent disability benefits, temporary partial disability benefits, or other forms of benefits.

No matter the case, we are fully committed to helping you obtain the full amount of workers’ compensation benefits that are entitled to you by law. Through a workers’ compensation claim you may be able to compensate for medical care expenses, and past and future lost wages.

Types of Workplace Accident Cases

When an employee is hurt on the job, he or she can seek legal assistance to file a workers’ compensation claim and fight for workers compensation benefits. Workplace accident cases are not just injuries such as broken bones; there are various types of workplace accident cases that entitle injured employees to compensation.

Overexertion: Any repetitive movement that can lead to exertion, often resulting in back injuries, which can cause debilitating pain.

Slip and Fall: Perhaps one of the most common accidents in the workplace, a slip and fall accident can occur due to inadequate safety protocols, slippery floors, and so on.

Falling Objects: Workers in warehouses or on construction sites are prone to these type of injuries. Falling objects can result in head or foot injuries, and in some cases, even death.

Vehicle Accidents: When a job requires driving, a car accident can be considered a workplace injury which falls under workers’ compensation law.

Exposure to Dangerous Substances: Those working in industrial buildings sometimes develop an illness due to some dangerous substance or chemicals they have been exposed to over the years.

Other types of work-related injuries include:

  • Wrongful death
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Dislocated bones
  • Lacerations
  • Dismemberment
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Hearing loss
  • Loss of sight
  • Occupational disease
  • Burn injuries
  • Injured nerves

Understanding every aspect of your work injury claim, including what happened, if there were any witnesses, your type of injury, and so on, will help our legal team build the right workers’ compensation claim for your case.

I hired Alex Jean for a personal injury case and little did I know I was going to get world class treatment.I was referred to the best Chiropractors in Miami and then when I moved to St.Pete the LJW team had great connections there too.My Tesla is as good as new, my back is recovering and not to mention the settlement from the insurance. If I didn’t hire them I’d still be trying to recover money from insurance to fix my car.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you need a personal injury attorney I 100% recommend Alex Jean and the team at LJW.

Ryan Wechsler is an excellent attorney. He worked tirelessly on my case, which was a difficult one to begin with. When other attorneys were given me issues to take my case, he was the only one that was reassuring and determine to seek justice for me. I completely trusted his counsel. Had it not been for Mr. Wechsler I would have accumulated a lot of debt. I am forever grateful that he accepted my case.

Ryan and the team are absolute rock stars! I got a recommendation from a good friend to use them, and I was not disappointed. They solved my issue with one strong letter and avoided a bad situation and lots of time and $$$ saved. I will definitely be using them again if the need ever arises.

Very good firm. I had an unusual case. A crane dropped on my car the week of Christmas. Considering the fact my accident occurred during the holiday season, Lyle and his paralegal, Helen, ensured that I received treatment the same day, got a rental, and even settled my case in less than 6 months.They were extremely polite, communicative, and on top of everything. I highly recommend reaching out to them for great legal representation.
