Tampa Workers' Compensation Lawyer

The Importance of Getting a Lawyer's Help

Not all work injuries are accepted by an employer's workers' compensation insurance as having been caused by your job duties. Normally, the insurance company will investigate the cause of the injury, and make a determination as to liability. It can occur, such as in the case of a back injury, that they deny the injury was work related and attempt to deny you benefits, such as medical treatment and reimbursement for lost wages.

It is because of this that you need the lawyers of Stallworth Law at your side to conduct their own investigation into the facts of the injury in order to properly document your injury claim. We have 30+ years of combined experience and are eager to help you!

Am I Eligible for Workers' Comp Benefits?

Virtually all employers throughout Tampa and all of Florida are required to carry workers' compensation coverage. There are some exceptions, however, so it will be helpful to determine whether your specific employer carries or should carry this coverage. Workers' compensation covers virtually any type of accident or injury that is work-related. This may include an injury sustained in an accident, an illness caused by exposure to a toxin or other hazardous condition at work, or an injury related to the performance of your job duties. Workers' comp covers workplace accidents regardless of who was at fault, even if the injured employee was partially or fully responsible. The only exception may be an employee who was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident or injury.

Filing a workers' compensation claim is no easy task. In fact, it is usually quite difficult to get the insurance coverage and compensation benefits you need to adequately recover from your work injury. Health insurance plans rarely cover the full cost of your medical expenses. Furthermore, insurance companies are known for frequently denying their customers claims compensation. The trying experience of an accident and the period of recovery that follows should not be intensified by stubborn or unsympathetic insurance companies.
