Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to report my work injury in Florida?
Florida law requires you to report a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days of the accident (or within 30 days of a doctor telling you the condition is work-related). Reporting late is one of the most common reasons claims get denied, so notify your employer as soon as possible and keep a record of when you did.
How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim?
You generally have up to two years from the date of your injury to file a workers' compensation claim (a Petition for Benefits) in Florida. Certain exceptions can shorten or extend this window, which is why it's best to speak with an attorney early.
Can I be fired for filing a workers' compensation claim?
No. It is illegal for an employer to fire, demote, or otherwise retaliate against you for filing a legitimate workers' compensation claim. If you believe you were retaliated against for exercising your rights, you may have an additional legal claim.
How much does it cost to hire Kotler Law?
We handle workers' compensation cases on a contingency basis, which means there are no upfront fees. You pay nothing unless we recover benefits on your behalf. Your initial consultation is always free and comes with no obligation.
Can I choose my own doctor?
In most Florida workers' compensation cases, the insurance carrier selects your authorized treating physician. However, you do have certain rights, including a one-time request to change doctors. An attorney can help ensure you receive appropriate, authorized medical care.
Do I really need a lawyer for my claim?
You may handle your own claim. Legal advice can help when benefits are denied, treatment is delayed, or work restrictions and wage calculations are disputed. A free consultation can help you understand the issues in your claim.
