Workers Compensation

Workers compensation programs across the United States were developed to provide a means for workers to receive medical and other benefits immediately without having to prove the liability of their employer after injury. In return for providing insurance to cover the inevitable accidents that occur in every industry, employers are mostly shielded from civil lawsuits and high dollar recoveries for personal injury. Workers compensation legislation defines the claims process, limits money paid out for injury, and strictly defines the recoverable benefits. Partial wages are provided, while disability payouts are limited and subject to review. In addition, under Florida law, worker pain and suffering is not covered under workers compensation.
