Workers Compensation

If you have sustained an injury while working, there are many questions you need answered. You may be wondering whether or not your accident is covered under workers' compensation or whether you are entitled to a doctor, an MRI, or a specialist. It is not uncommon for an injured worker to be misled by the employer or insurance carrier. After all, they both want to keep their costs to a minimum.

If your work-related injury has prevented you from returning to work, or has prevented you from working full time, you may be wondering what benefits you are entitled to. Under workers' compensation, you are entitled to receive up to 104 weeks of indemnity benefits to aid you while you are off from work or unable to work full time. In the unfortunate event that you have suffered a catastrophic injury, you may be entitled to benefits for the rest of your life.

If you are injured in Florida, the benefits you are entitled to receive will depend on the nature of your injury, your past earnings and current work duty status. Employers and insurance companies and their doctors have all teamed up against you. It is important that you have legal representation to fight for the benefits that employers and insurance companies want to deprive you of.
At Jorge Luis Colon, P.A., our attorneys are former insurance defense attorneys who know and understand that the employers and the insurance companies care about their bottom but have little regard to your physical or financial well being. You should know that the insurance companies have attorneys working on their side and will try to cut corners on medical care and will often deny claims without a valid justification.
If you are tired of being treated like a number, if you are being denied benefits, if you are ready to fight for your rights, call us. Our attorneys are ready to fight for you.
