Florida Workers’ Compensation laws have changed dramatically over the years, leaving injured Florida workers confused and frustrated. Many injured workers will go without proper medical care, have their medical care delayed, or are not properly paid lost wages because they do not know the type of benefits available or how to fight for them. To add to these problems, more recent changes in Florida laws make it difficult for the injured worker to get legal assistance to fight for proper care and benefits. The Disability Law Firm of Syfrett & Furr continues to represent injured workers in a wide range of disputes that arise with their insurance carriers.

 

The first step in helping an injured worker is to know the date of the accident causing the injury. Because of changes in the laws over the years, each accident date is governed by a different set of laws. Although there are similarities in coverage, an injured worker with a date of accident in 2000 will be entitled to different benefits than an injured worker with a date of accident in 2004. Therefore, it is important to get advice from an attorney familiar with the changes in the laws rather than comparing your case to someone you know who may have been similarly injured.
