In 2008, there were more than 47,000 workers compensation
claims in the state of Florida, resulting in $372.5 million
paid in benefits. From car accident injuries in Tampa to slip
and fall injuries in Orlando, employees get hurt more often
than most Floridians realize.
People who are hurt on-the-job are typically injured while
working hard to carry out their duties and please their employers.
At the very least, injured workers deserve to be compensated
for medical bills, lost wages, permanent disabilities, and
other damages.

All employers in Florida, from Pinellas to Hillsborough and
Polk to Manatee County, are required to carry workers compensation
insurance. This insurance is there to protect you, the employee,
in case you are injured while at work. Even though workers
compensation insurance is available, injured employees often
do not receive the compensation they need. This is why representation
by a workers compensation attorney is important. A lawyer
experienced in Florida workers compensation statutes will
know how to file insurance claims properly and insist on full
reimbursement for your injuries.
If you have been hurt on the clock and don't know where to
turn, contact a workers
compensation attorney from Kennedy Law Group for a completely
free review of your case. From Tampa to Sarasota, Dade City
to St Petersburg, and Sarasota to Spring Hill, our attorneys
are committed to demanding everything to which you are legally
entitled.
