Questions Injured Workers Have About their Workers’ Compensation Rights

If you have been injured in an accident while on the job or in a workplace environment, like most full-time, part-time and seasonal employees (who are generally eligible for benefits), you may have questions about your rights under Florida workers’ compensation rules.  Getting injured in any workplace accident is not only unfortunate but complicated if your employer or insurance underwriter decides to make it so. Having competent legal advice is the first step to receiving just and fair compensation for your injuries even if the accident was your own fault.  Of course, if your accident resulting in an injury occurred because of intoxication, drug use, willful misconduct or even horse play outside the scope of work, claims would ultimately be denied.

At Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner, PA, we have been helping injured workers and their families receive fair and just compensation for over 30 years. Our lead workers’ compensation attorneys, Donovan Whibbs and Ryan Barnett are extremely knowledgeable in protecting workers’ rights.

Below is a list of questions most of our injured clients have before enlisting our assistance. As experienced workers’ compensation attorneys, we can answer these and many more important issues that can arise during a workers compensation case.
