Workers' Compensation Frequently Asked Questions

As quickly as possible. It’s important to report an accident or injury to a supervisor or employer as soon as possible because there are certain timelines you are required to meet. It is the employer’s responsibility to inform their workers’ compensation insurance carrier once they receive notice. The insurance company will then conduct an investigation into the accident or injury. If your claim is approved then you will receive benefits shortly thereafter.

Employers and workers’ compensation insurance companies may try to avoid the expense of work-comp claims by saying:

Your injury was not sustained at work
Your injury is not as severe as you claim
Or even tell you that you are not covered at all

Some employers will not even carry workers’ compensation insurance while others will even threaten to fire an employee in retaliation against them for filing a claim. If you are fired (or even threatened to be fired) for exercising your legal rights to workers’ compensation benefits an employer may be liable for a Retaliation lawsuit from our Jacksonville workers’ compensation attorneys.

If your claim is “legitimately” denied, it does not mean that you are not entitled to benefits. Because many times claims are denied in an effort to save money, the workers’ compensation system has an appeals process and our Jacksonville workers’ compensation attorneys are well-versed in how to navigate that process.

Don’t let this stop you from getting what you deserve. Read more about the workers’ compensation appeals process.

Injured workers are not only entitled to workers’ compensation benefits but they may also be entitled to:

disability benefits under the workers’ compensation system
social security disability benefits
supplemental security income benefits

You may also be able to seek damages from a third party by taking action in a personal injury lawsuit if you can prove that the third party caused the accident or injury.
