Florida Workplace Injury Lawyers

“Workers have certain rights of compensation…these rights can be limited…we find that the injured workers commonly have ‘third party’ claims with greater rights of compensation…”

Experience a Work Injury in Florida? Don’t Settle for Less Than You Deserve

Work injuries are a common and often devastating occurrence. According to OSHA, there were 4,764 workplace fatalities in 2020 alone. Injured workers often struggle to file workers’ comp claims for compensation, but workers’ compensation is designed for protection and security, though it is no guarantee that you will be adequately compensated. Whether you’ve suffered a back injury, neck injury, spinal cord injury, or other catastrophic injury, understanding your legal rights and employee rights is critical to obtaining fair compensation.

If you’re reading this now, in the wake of an occupational injury or industrial accident, you’re probably concerned with your financial well-being and wondering “what is my case worth” or “do I need a lawyer.” Permanent injuries are rarely compensated as they should be, and even temporary disability can be devastating for your family. Many workers struggle to prove negligence or secure settlements, and legal representation is often necessary to recover the damages you’re entitled to. Our personal injury attorneys handle everything from claim filing assistance to appeal representation, ensuring you maximize your injury compensation and financial recovery.

At Abrahamson & Uiterwyk, a Florida-based injury law firm, we have spent the last 35 years aggressively fighting for our clients.

If you’ve been injured at work, you need an experienced and dedicated lawyer in your corner. If you decide to seek compensation for your injuries, you will want a qualified attorney who is reputable, trustworthy, and committed to resolving your case.

We advise our clients on their rights, benefits, and options. We understand the stress of facing disability, lost wages, and medical expenses, but with our aggressive approach, we ensure that you receive the compensation and justice you deserve. We handle claim denials, benefits denials, and appeals, and we’re accessible 24/7 to provide immediate help when you need emergency assistance.

How Can a Work Injury Attorney Help You?

Workers’ compensation laws are designed to make it relatively simple for you to receive coverage for injuries sustained at work. Unfortunately, the companies responsible for funding your compensation often work tirelessly to minimize the amount you receive. These organizations are experts at avoiding liability and reducing payouts. Insurance adjusters use various tactics including requesting recorded statements to reduce your workers compensation benefits and disability benefits.

Workers’ compensation typically covers immediate medical concerns but offers limited support for long-term care. Once you reach Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), meaning your condition has stabilized and is unlikely to improve with further treatment, your benefits may be capped, regardless of any ongoing pain and suffering or disability.

If your workplace injury results in permanent disability, whether total disability or partial disability, the total lifetime benefits from workers’ compensation may fall far short of covering your lifetime income loss. Understanding the difference between workers’ comp and a lawsuit is essential. While workers’ comp provides medical benefits and limited wage replacement, a personal injury lawsuit can recover economic damages, non-economic damages, and, in some cases, punitive damages for employer negligence or workplace safety violations.

However, there is hope. Our workplace injury lawyers have successfully helped over 20,000 injury victims, and we fully understand the challenges you’re facing. We investigate workplace accidents, gather evidence, document injuries and damages, obtain medical records, and calculate compensation amounts to establish the full value of your claim.

We offer a 100% FREE consultation to help you determine the best course of action for securing your financial future. We’ll help you understand how much compensation you may be entitled to, how long the process will take, whether you’ll have to go to court, and the statute of limitations and time limits that apply to your case. Don’t wait! Call us today!

There May Be a Liable Third Party for Your Work Injury

Injuries in the workplace can still be viewed legally from the standpoint of any other injury. In addition to the amounts you are owed from workers’ comp, you may be due additional compensation from the negligence and/or liability of third parties.

At Abrahamson & Uiterwyk, third-party liability is our focus. We aggressively pursue every liable party, leveraging our 35 Years of experience. Take a look at our case results in the sidebar to see how we have helped some of our clients.

Work Injury Cases: We Don’t Get Paid for Costs or Fees Unless You Win

If you have been injured, the last thing you need on your mind is to question whether or not to gamble your moderate workers’ comp package on pursuing the full compensation you actually need. Abrahamson & Uiterwyk believes you deserve adequate compensation and we don’t think we should get paid for any costs or fees unless we win.

Our Florida work injury attorneys operate on a contingency basis, so you don’t pay for any legal costs or fees unless we win or settle your case. Call now for your free consultation at 1-866-902-9844!

Because of the fact that cases involving workers’ compensation injuries may be highly complex and exceedingly specific, our law firm commonly works with other law firms that have considerable experience in each particular case type. Thus, we may be referring these types of cases to a separate firm, with whom we typically associate and work on a co-counsel basis.
