Florida Workers' Compensation vs. Third-Party Claims
Our Miami attorneys help injured workers explore all avenues for compensation beyond the limited benefits of Florida's workers' compensation system.
Florida Workers' Compensation
No-Fault System: You don't need to prove your employer was negligent to receive benefits under Florida law.
Limited Benefits: Only covers 66.67% of your average weekly wage, medical expenses, and limited disability payments.
No Pain and Suffering: Florida workers' comp does not compensate for pain and suffering or full lost wages.
Employer Immunity: Generally prevents you from suing your Miami employer directly.
Third-Party Claims
Additional Compensation: Allows you to seek damages beyond Florida workers' compensation limits.
Full Damages Available: Includes pain and suffering, full lost wages, and other damages not covered by Florida workers' comp.
Against Other Parties: Claims against equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, property owners, or other negligent third parties in Miami.
Requires Proving Negligence: We must prove the third party was negligent and caused your injuries under Florida law.
Our Miami workplace injury attorneys will evaluate your case to determine if you have a valid third-party claim in addition to your Florida workers' compensation benefits, maximizing your total recovery.

Understanding Florida Workers' Compensation Laws
Florida's workers' compensation laws can be complex. Our Miami attorneys help you navigate these legal requirements to protect your rights after a workplace injury.
Reporting Requirements
In Florida, you must report your workplace injury to your employer within 30 days. Failure to do so could jeopardize your claim. Our Miami attorneys ensure all reporting requirements are met properly and on time.
Medical Provider Restrictions
Florida law allows employers and their insurance companies to choose your medical providers. Our Miami attorneys can help you navigate this system to ensure you receive quality care from Miami-area doctors who will properly document your injuries.
Benefit Limitations
Florida workers' compensation only pays 66.67% of your average weekly wages, up to a state maximum, and has strict limits on how long you can receive benefits. Our Miami attorneys explore all options to maximize your total compensation beyond these limits.
