Was Your Workers’ Compensation Claim Denied?

If you live or work in the Tampa Bay area and feel you had a valid workers' compensation claim but were denied any benefits then you should talk to a Tampa workers' comp lawyer today. Florida employment law requires that most employers have workers' compensation coverage for their employees in the event that a work place accident occurs. Any employer with four or more employees must carry this coverage and its purpose is to provide benefits to an employee that is injured or becomes ill due to working conditions. This includes machinery accidents, slip and falls, repetitive motion injuries, toxic chemical exposure, burns, on the job vehicle accidents, any assaults or attacks that occur while a worker is on the job, etc. Workers' comp benefits are expressly for helping employees that have been the victim of a workplace accident such as those described above so a denial of benefits may be cause to get the help of a skilled attorney in order to appeal or resolve any dispute surrounding the disbursement of benefits.
