If you have been injured in a workplace accident, you have probably been told that you’re entitled to receive workers’ comp benefits. But compensation claims are complicated, and most people scratch their heads and wonder, “How does workers comp work?”
Whether you know it as workers’ compensation, workers’ comp, or workman’s comp (spoiler alert: they’re all the same thing), there is a lot you should be aware of before you navigate this often-confusing industry.
The workers’ compensation program was designed to benefit both workers and employers. Injured employees are given medical treatment and lost wage benefits to help them recover, while employers are given protection from personal injury (negligence) lawsuits.
This system is designed to work without legal involvement, but unfortunately, instances occur when you need the guidance and assistance of an attorney.
For instance, what if you have a pre-existing injury…can you still get workers compensation? This is one issue that isn’t quite so cut-and-dry, yet it’s one that Florida workers struggle with on a daily basis. Read more
Many employees rely on workers’ comp to provide them with assistance in the event they are hurt at work. While some injuries are relatively simple with no long-term side effects, others take years to recover from (if at all).

In case of an injury at work, you’re entitled to certain benefits to cover your medical expenses and lost wages. Sometimes, these benefits come in the form of regular workers’ compensation benefits paid through your employer’s insurance company. But what happens if you are offered a lump sum settlement instead? And when will workers comp offer a settlement?
If you’re anticipating a settlement offer, you need to understand the factors in play. Read more
