Workers' compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. In Florida, this program is designed to cover medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for employees injured on the job.
Most employees in Florida are covered under workers' compensation. Employers with four or more employees, including both full-time and part-time workers, are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. There are specific requirements for certain industries:
Workers' compensation covers all necessary medical treatments related to the injury or illness, including doctor visits, surgeries, physical therapy, prescriptions, and travel expenses for medical appointments.
If you are unable to work due to your injury, you may be entitled to wage replacement benefits:
If your injury results in a permanent impairment, you may receive impairment benefits based on the severity of the impairment and your pre-injury wages.
If a worker dies due to a work-related injury or illness, their dependents may receive death benefits, including funeral expenses and financial support.
If your claim is denied, you have the right to dispute the decision. Steps to take include:
In Florida, you must report your injury to your employer within 30 days of the incident. Failing to do so may result in losing your right to benefits. You also have two years from the date of injury to file a formal claim.
Generally, you must see a doctor authorized by your employer's workers' compensation insurance. If you are not satisfied with the care, you may request a one-time change of physician, but the new doctor must also be authorized by the insurance company.
Retaliation for filing a workers' compensation claim is illegal. If you experience retaliation, such as termination or demotion, you can file a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations.
Independent contractors are typically not covered under workers' compensation laws. However, misclassification issues may arise, and in some cases, contractors might be deemed employees and eligible for benefits.
In Florida, there is a 7-day waiting period before wage replacement benefits begin. If your disability lasts more than 21 days, you may be compensated for the initial 7 days.
The duration of benefits depends on the nature and extent of your injury. Temporary benefits can last up to 104 weeks, while permanent benefits depend on the degree of impairment and the type of disability.
Yes, workers' compensation is a no-fault system, meaning you can receive benefits regardless of who was at fault for your injury, as long as it occurred in the course of employment.
