How to apply for workers’ compensation in Florida

If you are eligible for workers’ compensation payments, here are guidelines to follow after you suffer a work-related injury:

  • Seek medical attention — If your injury is an emergency, the most important thing is to seek immediate medical attention. However, if you see your own doctor about it, you might also need to see a doctor approved by your insurance company to back up your claim.
  • Report the injury to your employer — File a formal claim of injury with your employer. Your employer should then contact the insurance company about your injury.
  • Report the claim yourself, if necessary — If your employer refuses to file a claim on your behalf, you can contact the insurance company yourself about the matter. You have 30 days after the injury, or 30 days after a doctor confirms the injury, to file a claim.
  • Document the injury — Take as many photos and collect as much testimony from witnesses as possible regarding the accident. This visual evidence is vital during the claims process and gives you a better chance of the insurance company accepting your claim.

Our attorneys are ready to help you at any point in this process. If you consult with us immediately after receiving medical attention for your injury, we help guide you through the workers’ compensation application in order to give you the peace of mind you deserve.
