Workplace injury laws in Florida can be very complex, which are best served with the legal advice and representation of experienced legal counsel.

In situations in which a workplace injury is caused due to the negligence of an employer or a co-worker, workers' compensation is the sole remedy for an injured worker. Workers' compensation will provide compensation for medical benefits and a part of an injured worker's lost wages. However, in most cases, workers' compensation is unlikely to fully compensate an injured worker.

However, there are situations where an entity other than the employer or co-worker is responsible for an on-the-job injury which legally allows for a personal injury lawsuit to be filed.

Generally Florida's workers compensation benefits cover:

Medical Bills;
All or part of the injured person's lost wages while they unable to work;
Compensation for long-term or permanent disability or loss of quality of life;
Death benefits for the immediate dependant family of the worker who has lost their life due to an on the job accident or incident.

All workers' compensation claims do not go smoothly, with many injured workers playing the waiting game to receive entitled compensation and benefits, or even having their workers' compensation benefits denied.
